Abstract

Breast cancer can metastasize to any organ; however, distant metastases are unusual at the time of diagnosis. Furthermore metastasis to skeletal muscle is an uncommon manifestation of malignancy. We report a case of a 45-year-old woman diagnosed with cancer of the left breast with metastases to the ipsilateral intercostal muscle. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of intercostal muscle metastasis from breast cancer in the English literature.

유방암은 어느 장기로든 전이 할 수 있지만 진단 시 원격전이가 있는 경우는 흔하지 않다. 그 뿐만 아니라, 유방암의 골격근 전이는 매우 드물다. 이에, 저자들은 좌측 유방의 악성 종양이 동측 갈비사이근으로 전이된, 45세 여성에 대해 증례보고를 하고자 한다. 현재까지 저자들이 아는 바로는 유방암의 갈비사이근 전이는 보고된 적이 없다.
