Despite advancements in breast cancer management, metastatic disease remains a challenge. Thymic metastasis is an infrequent site of involvement. We intend to report a rare case of a woman in her 40s who presented with bilateral nipple discharge for 2 months. A triple assessment confirmed left breast carcinoma. A staging CT scan and positron emission tomography scan revealed an anterior mediastinal mass of thymic origin, and histology confirmed metastatic breast cancer. The patient made a good recovery following surgical and oncological treatment.
尽管乳腺癌的治疗取得了进展，但转移性疾病仍然是一个挑战。胸腺转移是一种罕见的受累部位。我们旨在报告一例罕见病例，患者为 40 多岁女性，双侧乳头溢液 2 个月。三联评估证实左侧乳腺癌。分期 CT 扫描和正电子发射断层扫描显示前纵隔胸腺来源的肿块，组织学证实为转移性乳腺癌。患者在接受手术和肿瘤治疗后恢复良好。
