Abstract
Breast metastases from small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) are extremely rare. Although reports of breast metastases from SCLC exist, only three studies have reported solitary and synchronous breast metastases. Herein, we present a case of SCLC with solitary and synchronous breast metastases. This unusual case highlights the importance of the combined use of radiological and immunohistochemical features to accurately distinguish solitary metastatic SCLC from primary breast carcinoma or metastatic carcinoma of other types of lung cancer. It also emphasizes the importance of the differences between solitary metastatic SCLC and primary breast carcinoma or metastatic carcinoma of other types of lung cancer for the respective prognoses and development of appropriate therapeutic plans.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Breast Cancer (abbreviated as ''J Breast Cancer'') is the official journal of the Korean Breast Cancer Society, which is issued quarterly in the last day of March, June, September, and December each year since 1998. All the contents of the Journal is available online at the official journal website (http://ejbc.kr) under open access policy. The journal aims to provide a forum for the academic communication between medical doctors, basic science researchers, and health care professionals to be interested in breast cancer. To get this aim, we publish original investigations, review articles, brief communications including case reports, editorial opinions on the topics of importance to breast cancer, and welcome new research findings and epidemiological studies, especially when they contain a regional data to grab the international reader''s interest. Although the journal is mainly dealing with the issues of breast cancer, rare cases among benign breast diseases or evidence-based scientifically written articles providing useful information for clinical practice can be published as well.
