Surgical treatment of solitary metastasis in the male breast from non-small cell lung cancer.
Detection of metastases in the breast from extramammary neoplasms is rare. We present a case of metastases in breast tissue from surgically treated non-small cell bronchogenic carcinoma. A histologic and immunohistologic study was essential for choosing the appropriate treatment for the patient. The patient is alive and disease-free 18 months after the breast surgery.
