Abstract
Metastasis to the clivus and sphenoid sinus from breast cancer is exceedingly rare, with few cases documented in the literature. This case report presents a 68-year-old female with a history of breast cancer who developed metastasis to the clivus extending into the sphenoid sinus. The clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic interventions are discussed, with a review of similar cases in the literature to highlight the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management.
