Malignancy to the breast is a rare form of breast malignancy (<1% of all breast tumors) with difficult diagnosis and often dismal prognosis. Melanoma, hematological malignancies and rhabdomyosarcoma commonly affect the breast secondarily although the carcinomas of pulmonary, ovarian and renal origin are also reported to metastatize to the breast. The metastatic symptoms could be the first symptom to the patient and becomes a diagnostic challenge for both the clinician and the pathologist. Such cases highlight the importance of the combinatorial diagnostic approach involving the physicians, radiologist and pathologist. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
