Breast metastasis originating from non-mammary tumors is an uncommon event accounting for 0.5-6.6% of all breast neoplasms. The primary malignancies that reportedly metastasize to the breast most frequently are hematologic malignancies, such as leukemia and lymphoma and malignant melanoma. Breast cancer metastasis resulting from a primary lung neoplasm is significantly less commonly described in the literature. Herein, we present the unusual case of a patient with metastatic disease to the breast from a primary lung tumor.
源自非乳腺肿瘤的乳腺转移是一种罕见事件,占所有乳腺肿瘤的0.5 - 6.6%。据报道,最常转移至乳腺的原发性恶性肿瘤是血液系统恶性肿瘤,如白血病、淋巴瘤和恶性黑色素瘤。原发性肺肿瘤导致的乳腺癌转移在文献中的描述明显较少。在此,我们报告一例原发性肺肿瘤转移至乳腺的罕见病例。
