“…Attempts at demonstrating internal mammary lymph node enlargement by means other than surgery have met with limited success (Pfister, Oh and Ferrucci, 1970;Jemelin and Candarjis, 1973;Chernomordikova et al, 1972;Ege, 1976). CT scans can now provide unique cross-sectional images of the thorax including the soft tissues of the chest wall and this technique has proved to be of value in the detection and management of locally recurrent breast cancer (Munzenrider et al, 1979;Gouliamos, Carter and Enami, 1980).…”

SummaryInternal mammary lymph node enlargement may be demonstrated using computed tomography (CT), and a confirmatory tissue diagnosis of metastatic involvement may be obtained using fine needle aspiration biopsy with needle tip placement guided by the CT scanner. A case history is described to illustrate how a patient presented 9 years after mastectomy with an internal mammary lymph node metastasis and how cytopathological diagnosis of this metastasis was achieved by CT guided biopsy.
