Breast metastasis from primary cervical cancer.
Metastasis to the breast from primary cervical cancer is rare. A 52-year-old woman developed breast metastasis 6 months after the diagnosis of primary cervical cancer. The mammography showed discrete well defined nodules without microcalcification. Fine needle aspiration cytology confirmed the diagnosis. Treatment with cis-platinum chemotherapy and local radiotherapy resulted in complete response. The patient continues to be alive and disease-free 18 months since the diagnosis of breast metastasis.
