This report discusses the occurrence of tumor-to-tumor metastasis-an atypical phenomenon in oncology where a secondary malignancy develops within an existing primary tumor. The case of a 64-year-old woman is presented, who, with a history of stage II invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast treated with mastectomy and chemoradiotherapy, developed neurological symptoms indicative of a secondary brain tumor. MRI and subsequent histopathological analysis post-craniotomy confirmed a meningioma with a metastatic breast carcinoma, demonstrating the clinical importance of considering tumor-to-tumor metastasis in similar patient histories.
本报告讨论了肿瘤至肿瘤转移的发生情况——这是肿瘤学中的一种非典型现象,即继发性恶性肿瘤在现有的原发性肿瘤内发展。报告介绍了一名64岁女性的病例,该女性有II期乳腺浸润性导管癌病史,接受了乳房切除术和放化疗,随后出现了提示继发性脑肿瘤的神经症状。开颅术后的MRI及后续组织病理学分析证实为伴有转移性乳腺癌的脑膜瘤,这表明在类似患者病史中考虑肿瘤至肿瘤转移的临床重要性。
