Abstract
Metastasis from solid organs to the breast is rare. Similarly, metastasis from the rectum to the breast is a quite rare clinical condition. In particular, metastasis from the rectum to the bilateral breast is much less common. We reported a women patient with bilateral breast metastasis from the rectum at the age of 58 years. Extensive metastatic mass was detected in both breasts on Positron Emission TomographyComputer Tomography and biopsy was performed separately from the masses of both breasts. CDX-2 positive, Cytokeratin 7 negative, estrogen receptors negative, progesterone receptors negative in tumoral areas immunohistochemically verified the breast metastasis of rectal adenocarcinoma. In light of this information, biopsy should be performed to direct the treatment in patients with solid organ cancer with a potential mass in the breast in need of metastasis or primary tumor differentiation.
