“…Hence the contralateral breast is reported to be the most common source of primary cancer to metastasise to the breast. The other extra-mammary cancers known to metastasise to breast may include haematological malignancy malignant melanoma (MM), appendicular carcinoid, malignant mesotheliomas, epidermoid cervical carcinoma, renal, lung (19), gastric, pancreatic, rectal (20) ovarian (21), tongue, thyroid (22) and prostate carcinomas. Contrast-ingly, rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common cancer to metastasise to the breast in paediatric age group (23).…”
