“…The role of hormonal factors is debatable; however, a high occurrence of breast metastasis is reported in pubescent girls, in pregnancy or the lactating state, and in prostatic cancer with hormone replacement therapy in men. 1,11,12 The suggested mechanism is that estrogen may cause an increase in vascularity and in the stroma of the breast, which may play a role as a predisposing factor in the development of metastasis. 9 In our study group, one patient was an adolescent, one was pregnant, and one was lactating.…”

We evaluated the mammographic (n = 16) and ultrasonographic (n = 15) findings of 18 patients with metastatic breast carcinoma. Fifteen patients showed multiple or diffuse lesions and three patients showed single lesions. Ten patients (55.6%) had bilateral lesions. Mammography revealed high density (15 cases, 93.8%), round to oval (11 cases, 68.8%) lesions with poorly defined or obscured margins (12 cases, 75.0%). No associated calcification was found in any lesion. Ultrasonographically, poorly defined (8 cases, 53.3%), irregularly shaped (8 cases, 53.3%), hypoechoic (14 cases, 93.3%), heterogeneous (8 cases, 53.3%) lesions were predominantly distributed superficially (11 cases, 73.3%). Axillary lymphadenopathy was detected in six patients (33.3%). The longest diameter of most of the lesions was less than 2.0 cm (13 cases, 81.3%). We conclude that metastatic tumors to the breast appear as relatively small, superficially located, poorly defined, irregular nodules without calcification on mammography and ultrasonography. However, when the metastatic lesion is diffuse, the appearance is indistinguishable from that of inflammatory breast carcinoma.

“…Metastatic adenocarcinoma of the male breast from the prostate is very rare, as only 22 cases have been reported previously [2,3]. We reported herein the 23rd case, in whom the R 1881 receptor was detected in the left breast mass.…”

“…9 In males, it has been reported that prostate adenocarcinoma can metastasise to the breast. 10 The evidence showed that, the incidence of melanoma has been steadily rising in the recent decades, with an annual increase of 38% worldwide and the most common forms are cutaneous and ocular. 11 Melanoma can metastasise to lymph nodes, other skin areas, and distant organs such as the liver, lung, brain, bones & breast.…”

Metastatic lesions in the breast from malignant diseases originated in other primary sources are rare. Mostly arise from the contra-lateral breast. The incidence extramammary origin of the breast metastasis is 1.2-2%. The usual extra-mammary primary sites of metastasis are malignant melanoma, lung cancer and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In any patient who has been diagnosed with a known primary cancer, if presented with a breast lump, a metastatic breast focus should be considered. The malignant melanoma [MM] characterised by widespread dissemination but infrequently metastasizes to the breast. In this paper we report a case of 43years old female with malignant melanoma with breast metastases. Staging CT chest & abdomen, showed bilateral lung nodules and numerous subcutaneous nodules, the largest seen in the umbilical area (Figure 4). Histology of the right breast biopsy reported staining for Melan-A & HMB45 is positive ( Figures 5A-5D). No staining for Cam5.2, ER, PR, CK7 and CK20. Ki67 is 10%. Appearances and immuno-profile are consistent with metastatic malignant melanoma. Due to disease dissemination, the patient has been referred to palliative oncological treatment. DiscussionBreast melanoma could arise basically in the breast skin, primarily in breast parenchyma, metastases to breast tissue, in-transit metastases (IMs) to breast glandular tissue or metastases to the breast skin. Metastatic breast lesions might be the first presentation clinical sign of the primary malignancy.7 Breast metastatic lesions from extramammary origin are uncommon. They encounter only 2% of total breast tumours. 8The top three sites are the contra-lateral breast, lymphomas and disseminated melanoma. Other sites are ovarian, lung, and gastric malignancies in addition to carcinoids & rhabdomyosarcomas.
