Breast metastases from an extramammary primary tumor are very rare, particularly in men. In this study, we present a case of a 74-year-old man with isolated breast metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma as an incidental finding on PET/CT and diagnosed concomitantly with the primary tumor. Detection of isolated incidental metastatic lesions in the breast on PET/CT imaging has a significant clinical impact on patients with known malignant disease due to change of disease stage, management, and also treatment method.
乳腺转移来自于非乳腺原发肿瘤非常罕见,尤其在男性中。本研究报道了一例 74 岁男性,其孤立性乳腺转移来自于肺腺癌,在 PET/CT 检查时偶然发现,同时也发现了原发性肿瘤。由于疾病分期、管理和治疗方法的改变,在 PET/CT 成像上检测到孤立性偶然转移病灶对已知恶性疾病的患者具有重要的临床意义。
