title: Breast metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma: a case report.
abstract: We report the case of a 54-year-old female patient with a stage IV lung adenocarcinoma who developed a breast mass during the course of her disease. The breast tumor was proved to be of pulmonary origin. Mammary metastases from non-small cell lung cancer are extremely rare and accurate diagnosis is essential to rule out primary breast carcinoma.
