“…4 Occult breast cancer initially presenting with more distant metastases is exceedingly rare. 5,6 These cases, however, are particularly challenging for both diagnosis and treatment, as the structure and function of the affected region and organ system must be carefully considered, even for the initial biopsy. In contrast to axillary involvement in which surgical resection is feasible, metastatic disease in other regions of the body may be either impossible or associated with significant morbidity that may not outweigh potential benefits and may decrease patients' quality of life.…”

Breast cancer affects about one in eight women over the course of her lifetime. Occult breast cancer, in which primary breast cancer is detected without evidence of disease in the breast itself, comprises up to 1% of new diagnoses; this is typically detected from abnormal axillary lymph nodes, and distant metastases are rare. Here, we present an unusual case of occult breast cancer presenting as upper extremity pain, edema, and weakness, with a metastatic mass to the brachial plexus being the only site of disease.
