“…The most common among malignancies metastatic to the breast as reported in the literature are melanomas, neuroendocrine carcinomas from various sites, ovarian tumors and leukemias/lymphomas, although virtually any malignancy may metastasize to the breast. 2,7,8,23,26,27 Radiologically these lesions are usually imaged by mammography and/or ultrasound and appear as single, round, discrete lesions usually lacking the irregularities and microcalcifications of primary breast malignancies. 4,6,23,24,27 Fine needle aspiration biopsy is an excellent firstline diagnostic modality that is particularly informative when the cytopathologist is an integral member of a multidisciplinary team of health care providers.…”

“…Although primary breast carcinoma is the most common tumor in women in the world, metastases to the breast from solid tumors are quite rare (2). Although metastases to the breast constitute up to 6% in autopsy series, clinically observed incidence varies from 0.5 to 1.2% of all breast neoplasms (3,4).…”

“…In a retrospective survey of 14,000 breast malignancies, secondary involvement of breast was found to be 3.2%, but most were metastatic from the contralateral breast carcinomas, and only 0.43% was found to be non-mammary metastases (5). Alva et al reviewed the data from 1855 to 1998, www.respircase.com and found a total of 431 cases of extramammarian solid breast metastasis (2). Hematopoietic neoplasms, especially lymphomas, involve the breasts secondarily more often than solid tumors.…”

Although primary breast tumors are quite common, metastatic involvement of all breast masses are rare and account for about 1-5% of cases. A 56-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic in July 2009 with complaints of shortness of breath. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan showed a mass in the left hilar region. Endobronchial lesion was determined by fiberoptic bronchoscopy and the biopsy was evaluated as small cell lung carcinoma. The patient was followed-up after 4 cycles of etoposide + cisplatin chemotherapy. In the follow-up period, due to an increase in shortness of breath the patient was admitted to our clinic again in April 2010. A 4x3x3 cm sized mass in the right upper quadrant of breast lesions obtained for re-staging positron emission tomography (PET-CT) showed intense FDG uptake increase. Needle biopsy of the breast was evaluated as a result of metastasis of small cell lung carcinoma. The patient recieved second-line VAC chemotherapy in April 2010. This case of small-cell lung cancer and breast metastases is presented because of its rarity. Key words: Breast, metastasis, small cell lung carcinoma.Primer meme tümörleri yaygın olmasına rağmen memenin metastatik tutulumu nadirdir ve yaklaşık %1-5 oranında görülür. Elli altı yaşında kadın hasta Temmuz 2009'da nefes darlığı yakınması ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisinde (BT) sol hiler kitle mevcuttu. Fiberoptik bronkoskopi ile saptanan endobronşiyal lezyondan alınan biyopsi sonucu küçük hücreli akciğer karsinomu (KHAK) olarak geldi. Hastaya 4 kür etoposid sisplatin kemoterapisi verildi ve sonrasında takibe alındı. Nisan 2010'da nefes darlığında artış yakınması ile tekrar kliniğimize kabul edildi. Yeniden evreleme amaçlı çekilen PET-BT'de sağ meme dış kadranda 4x3x3 cm ebadında SUVmax 13,29 olan artmış FGD tutulumu raporlandı. Memedeki lezyondan alınan biyopsi sonucu KHAK metastazı şeklinde değerlendi-rildi. Hastaya 2. basamak VAC (vincristin, adriyamisin, siklofosfamid) kemoterapisi başlandı. KHAK'nin memeye metastazı nadir olması nedeni ile sunuldu.Anahtar Sözcükler: Meme, metastaz, küçük hücreli akciğer kanseri.

“…Metastatic breast involvement from extra-mammary neoplasms is unusual with a low incidence of 0.5% to 1.2% in clinical practice (Gupta et al, 2001), 2.7% in cytological series, and 1.7% to 6.6% in autopsy series of all breast malignancies (Alva and Shetty-Alva, 1999). Nearly 500 cases have been reported in small series and case reports (Madan et al, 2002).…”
