“…We had similar ultrasonographic findings in our case. We did not get enough material from fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), but fine needle biopsy is still an important diagnostic tool for distinguishing metastatic tumours from primary breast tumours 11 , 13. Cangieralla et al diagnosed breast metastasis of malign melanoma with FNAB in their seven cases 14.…”

Extramammarian cancer metastases to the breast are rare. Melanoma is one of the malignancies that can metastasise to the breast. The distinction between a primary breast carcinoma and a metastatic neoplasm is crucial because surgical and therapeutic treatment options will vary accordingly. The present report concerns a case of breast metastasis from melanoma of the trunk. A 50-year-old man with a self-detected left breast lump who had previously undergone wide local excision and axillary dissection for melanoma was admitted to our department. Ultrasonography showed an 0.8 cm hypoechoic nodule with silent margins. The palpable mass was excised. Surgical pathology revealed metastatic melanoma.
