Abstract
FERNANDEZ DE BOBADILLA, L. et al. Breast metastasis of primary colon cancer. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2004, vol.96, n.6, pp.415-419. ISSN 1130-0108.
Metastatic tumors to the breast from colon adenocarcinoma are very rare. They are usually indicative of disseminated disease, and the prognosis is poor. Generally, radical operation should be avoided unless needed for palliation. This case report described a patient with breast metastasis from colon adenocarcinoma treated by simple mastectomy.
Keywords : Breast metastasis of primary colon cancer; Breast metastases from extramamary malignancies.
