Abstract
- Breast metastases from small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) are extremely rare. Although reports of breast metastases from SCLC exist, only three studies have reported solitary and synchronous breast metastases. Herein, we present a case of SCLC with solitary and synchronous breast metastases. This unusual case highlights the importance of the combined use of radiological and immunohistochemical features to accurately distinguish solitary metastatic SCLC from primary breast carcinoma or metastatic carcinoma of other types of lung cancer. It also emphasizes the importance of the differences between solitary metastatic SCLC and primary breast carcinoma or metastatic carcinoma of other types of lung cancer for the respective prognoses and development of appropriate therapeutic plans.
