Tumor-to-tumor metastasis is a clinical entity that has been documented in medical literature as early as the 1900s. It is rare and published primarily as case reports, although its incidence seems to be on the rise as a result of improving medical care in developed countries. We report an unusual case of metatstatic breast tumor to a benign renal tumor, in a patient with a remote history of breast cancer. This case reinforces in our minds the enigmatic nature of breast cancer and its wide spectrum of clinical behavior.
肿瘤-to-肿瘤转移是一种早在20世纪就已在医学文献中有所记载的临床实体。它很罕见，主要以病例报告的形式发表，尽管由于发达国家医疗水平的提高，其发病率似乎在上升。我们报告了一例罕见的病例，一名有乳腺癌既往史的患者，其转移性乳腺肿瘤转移至良性肾肿瘤。这个病例让我们更加深刻地认识到乳腺癌的神秘本质及其广泛的临床行为谱。
