Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common malignant disease in women. Isolated pulmonary metastases have been reported to occur in 10-20 % of all women with breast cancer. Isolated solitary pulmonary metastases from breast cancer occur rarely (0.4 %). Herein we present, in the light of literature, a case of 41 years old woman in whom radical surgery for solitary pulmonary metastasis from breast cancer yielded long-term survival.

Özet

Meme kanseri kadınlarda en sık görülen malign hastalıktır. İzole akciğer metastazlarının tüm meme kanserli kadınların % 10-20'sinde geliştiği bildirilmektedir. Meme kanserinde izole soliter akciğer metastazı ender olarak gelişir (% 0,4). Burada radikal cerrahi sonrası uzun dönem sağkalım elde edilmiş soliter akciğer metastazı olan meme kanserli 41 yaşındaki kadın hastayı literatür eşliğinde sunduk.
