Hypernephroma presenting as a lump in the breast.
The breast is an unusual site for metastatic disease--generally, the breast lesion appears some time after diagnosis of the primary malignancy. An instance of renal cell carcinoma in a 69 year old woman, which presented primarily as a breast lump, is described. This is only the third such case that has been reported in the literature.
