Introduction: Metastasis to thyroid gland is very rare; with breast cancer metastasizing to thyroid is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of metastatic lesion in the thyroid from breast carcinoma in a 43 year old female who presented to us with a right breast lump for 1.5 years along with thyroid swelling for 6 months. Results: FNAC of breast lump showed ductal carcinoma while FNAC of thyroid nodule was inconclusive. CECT showed right breast neoplasm with malignant deposits in isthmus of thyroid. She underwent right simple mastectomy with axillary clearance and total thyroidectomy followed by chemotherapy. Histopathology analysis showed invasive ductal carcinoma in isthmus of thyroid.This was confirmed by immunohistochemistry, which revealed positive for GATA- 3and negative for TTF1 and Calcitonin. Conclusion: This case report highlights the importance of a correct early diagnostic work up.Immunohistochemical panels are helpful in differentiating between primary and secondary tumors.Also, thyroidectomy may be beneficial for local disease control and prevent the potential morbidity of tumor extension related to airway.

Lobular Cancer

Background: Orbital metastasis of breast cancer is an unusual condition, especially in the absence of a previous diagnosis of primary breast cancer. The main MRI findings in patients with orbital metastasis are retroorbital soft tissue with thickening of extraocular muscles. Paradoxical enophtalmos secondary to fibrosis can be seen. Case Report: In this case report we present a 75-year-old female patient with left eye pain and blurred vision and retraction. Although there was no evidence of malignancy in the biopsy of the orbita; since the patient's complaints continued despite idiopathic pseudotumor treatment; mammography was recommended to rule out the possibility of breast cancer metastasis. Her mammography revealed a suspicious lesion in the left breast and proved to be pleomorphic invasive lobular cancer. Conclusion: Breast cancer metastasis should be kept in mind in women with pseudotumor -like involvement of the orbita.

Background: Chest wall recurrence (CWR) from breast cancer after mastectomy is a difficult to treat disease. Electrochemotherapy (ECT) provides a safe, efficient, and non-invasive locoregional treatment approach in this setting. Case Report: A 61-year-old woman presented with unresectable breast cancer recurrence to the skin and subcutaneous tissue for which numerous lines of treatment were unsuccessful. Between February 2015 and May 2015, the patient underwent 3 courses of ECT after which a spectacular regression of the cutaneous metastatic foci was observed. After an overall observation period of 12 weeks, complete clinical remission was achieved. Conclusion: ECT can be proposed as an effective and safe locoregional therapy for breast cancer CWR and provides an alternative treatment modality to conventional therapies, especially in the case of multiple cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions.
