- Abstract
Although breast carcinoma is common, metastatic deposits to the breast from extramammary neoplasms are rare. Clinically and radiologically, metastatic neoplasms may mimic primary benign and malignant neoplasms of the breast. A correct diagnosis of metastasis to the breast is of considerable importance since the treatment of primary and secondary malignancies of the breast is different. We report 4 cases of extra mammary primary cancers metastasizing to the breast, diagnosed by biopsy, in a period of 5 years in our tertiary care centre. Each of the cases had different characteristics. A good knowledge of cytomorphology and histomorphology, together with clinical correlation and comparison with previous histopathological evidence, will prevent a misdiagnosis and aid in optimal management and therapy.
