| description | While lung carcinoma is the most common of the malignant tumors, primary lung tumors metastatic to the breast are rare and the prognosis is poor. We report a case of a Brazilian, 65- year-old, black, female patient with no family history of breast or lung cancer. During physical gynecological examination, she presented with a palpable nodule in the outer quadrant of the right breast. Based on X-ray, CT, PET-CT and immunohistochemistry investigation, a diagnosis of primary tumor metastatic lung to breast was made. The patient was referred for setorectomy and bi-lobectomy, combined with chemotherapy. She was in remission from November 2012 until December 2018. Given the poor prognosis related to the disease, the evolution presented is surprising. |
