Isolated right adrenal metastasis from an invasive ductal breast carcinoma.

Abstract

Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is the most common histopathological type of breast cancer, accounting for up to 85% of all invasive breast carcinomas [1]. It spreads usually to the bone first. Solitary metastasis is commonly located in the lung, liver or brain [2]. Adrenal glands locations are extremely rare [3]. We report a case of isolated metachronous right adrenal metastasis, diagnosed four years after breast IDC management. The aim is to highlight clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of this entity.
