- Abstract
This article presents information on breast metastasis of prostate cancer. A 71-year-old man presented with a hard mass in the left breast. The mass was located at 4 o'clock and was 0.2 cm from the areolar margin. Mammography showed multiple irregular nodules beneath the nipple-areolar complex of the left breast. The tumor nuclei are uniformly medium in size. The presence of benign breast ductal structure among the tumor cells would suggest metastasis from an extra-mammary origin. With the case history, immunohistochemical staining for prostate-specific antigen was performed. A positive result confirmed that the prostate was the primary site of the tumor. No further aggressive treatment was given and the patient died 2 months after the breast biopsy.
