Bildzitat: Intramammäre Metastase eines Rektumkarzinoms

Zusammenfassung

Metastasen extramammärer Neoplasien gehören zu den seltenen Mammatumoren. Wir stellen den Fall einer 76-jährigen Patientin mit bekanntem Rektumkarzinom vor, bei der im Rahmen des Stagings eine Brustläsion diagnostiziert wurde. Die histologische Untersuchung ergab eine Metastase des Rektumkarzinoms. In der Literatur finden sich bisher nur wenige Fallberichte über intramammäre Metastasen von Rektumkarzinomen.

Breast metastases from non-breast primaries are rare. A 76-year-old woman with a recently diagnosed rectal carcinoma presented to our ultrasound department with a breast lump. The core biopsy revealed a metastasis of the rectal cancer. In the literature, there are only a few reports about breast metastases from rectal carcinoma.
