Solitary Metastasis to the Breast From Thigh Myxoid Liposarcoma

Metastasis to the breast from non-mammary malignancies are rare and suggestive of advanced disease. Accurate and prompt diagnosis of breast metastasis can provide important prognostic information and guide treatment planning. Interestingly, in contrast to primary breast malignancies, non-mammary metastatic breast lesions often have benign-appearing imaging characteristics. Knowing a patient's clinical history and having prior breast imaging studies for comparison is important for making accurate assessments and appropriate recommendations. Imaging-guided biopsy is often indicated for definitive tissue diagnosis. We report a rare case of solitary metastasis to the breast from thigh myxoid liposarcoma.

Metastasis to the breast from non-mammary malignancies is rare and often indicative of advanced disease. Accurate diagnosis and timely treatment of breast metastasis are crucial for prognosis and treatment planning. Interestingly, unlike primary breast malignancies, non-mammary metastatic breast lesions typically exhibit benign characteristics on imaging. Knowledge of the patient's clinical history and comparison with previous breast imaging studies are essential for accurate assessment and appropriate recommendations. Imaging-guided biopsy is frequently necessary for definitive tissue diagnosis.
