“…Fine-needle aspiration or excisional biopsy of the lesion and IHC should be performed to confirm the diagnosis ( 17 , 22 – 26 ). It has been reported that Cis-platinum chemotherapy and local radiotherapy resulted in complete response in breast metastasis of cervical cancer ( 19 , 27 ). However, because of too few cases, there is no relevant treatment guideline.…”

It has been reported that extramammary malignant tumors metastasize to the breast, but cervical cancer metastasis to the breast is very rare. At present, there are only dozens of reports about cervical cancer metastasis to breast in the world. It is difficult to distinguish between primary breast cancer and metastatic breast cancer. We report a 44-year-old woman who underwent surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy for cervical cancer 5 years ago. Then, she was hospitalized for finding a left breast mass measured 2.9 × 2.7 cm in chest CT. Pathological examination combined with immunohistochemical staining showed that the mass came from the cervix. Then, the patient received systematic chemotherapy and interstitial brachytherapy (IB) for the breast mass and got a great result. Cervical cancer rarely metastasizes to the breast. In this case, we confirmed the diagnosis of breast mass by histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry. IB achieved a good result in the treatment of the breast mass. We hope to provide reference of prognosis and treatment when facing this situation by presenting this case.

“…Other sites have been reported as lung, rhabdomyosarcoma, renal adenocarcinoma, leiomyosarcoma, cervix, vulva, stomach, endometrial adenocarcinoma and plasma cell myeloma. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Clinical symptoms from the breast metastatic focus may be the first presentation of the disease. Differentiation of primary breast cancer from a metastatic auxiliary source is essential to decide on best management.…”

The metastasis of extra-mammary malignancy to breast is extremely rare; literature reports the incidence between 0.4-1.3%. Primary sites include the contralateral breast, leukaemia, lymphoma, malignant melanoma, sarcoma, lung, prostate, ovary, colon and the stomach. Here we present a rare case in which lung cancer was found to metastasise to the breast. Initially the patient presented with chest symptoms and a left breast lump was detected clinically. The radiological and histological investigations confirmed the diagnosis of primary lung cancer with breast metastases. Prognosis of such cases is generally poor.
