Breast metastasis from EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma: A case report and review of the literature

Clin Case Rep. 2018 Jun 19;6(8):1510-1516. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1636. eCollection 2018 Aug.

Abstract

Although lung cancer rarely metastasizes to the breast, we report a case of breast metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma harboring an epidermal growth factor receptor mutation. This breast metastasis was initially considered recurrent breast cancer and was later diagnosed based on histopathological and molecular examinations as metastasis from lung cancer.

Keywords: EGFR mutation; breast metastasis; lung adenocarcinoma.
