小细胞肺癌双侧乳腺转移:病例报告及文献复习

Abstract

Differentiation of primary versus secondary breast cancer can be difficult, with the relative rarity of the latter representing a diagnostic challenge. Here, we present a case of small cell lung cancer with synchronous bilateral breast metastases in a 52-year-old female. There are less than 5 other cases of small cell lung cancer with bilateral breast metastases reported in the literature to date. The breast metastases represented the first clinical and imaging manifestation of malignancy in our case. We present the patient's disease course including multi-modal imaging, histopathologic analysis, and clinical management. We aim to highlight the entity of secondary breast cancer and how multidisciplinary collaboration can help arrive at the diagnosis, which is critical for prognosis and treatment planning in this patient population.
