title: Late breast metastasis from resected lung cancer diagnosed by epidermal growth factor receptor gene mutation.
abstract: Primary lung cancer metastasizes to various organs, but rarely metastasizes to the breast. We report a case of breast metastasis from primary lung cancer, which was confirmed by the detection of the same epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation.
