[Breast metastases]
Abstract
Metastases in the breast resulting from extra-mammary tumours are infrequent, and the prognosis is poor. The main challenge in diagnosis is to differentiate between this condition and that of primary breast cancer so as to avoid unnecessary surgery. We present two cases that we encountered recently.
