Breast cancer metastatic to the kidney.
We report a case of renal tumor secondary to a breast cancer occurring 16 years after radical mastectomy. This is the sixth report case of renal metastasis from breast cancer of a 51-year-old woman. Percutaneous biopsy of the renal tumor confirmed the diagnosis during the follow-up. The patient was treated with chemotherapy and is alive 8 months after diagnosis. Previously, cases like our case showed long interval from mastectomy to diagnosis of metastasis.
