3. DiscussionMetastases to the breast from extramammary primary malignancies are rare. In various clinical autopsy studies, the incidence of metastasis to the breast ranges from 5% to 6.6%. 1 The most frequent metastases to the breast are from malignant melanoma, lymphoma, lung cancer, and, in men, prostatic cancer. 2 Approximately 25%–30% of patients with RCC will present with metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. The most common sites of metastatic RCC are the lung, bone, regional lymph nodes, liver, and brain. Metastases to the breast from RCC are rare. First reported RCC metastasis to the breast in 1942, and only 25 cases have been reported in the literature. 3 Eleven of these cases presented with metastasis as the initial sign of the disease and 14, among which two were bilateral, occurred as metachronous lesions after a former nephrectomy. Metastasis of RCC occurs through hematogenous and lymphatic spread of tumor cells to distant sites, often in an unpredictable manner due to the varying lymphatic drainage of the kidney. In general, the pathway of RCC metastasis to the breast is considered to be hematogenous. 4 In order to confirm the primary site of metastasis, IHC, eg, CD-10, for the RCC primary, pancreas, and the metastatic site, supported the diagnosis of RCC. The results were negative for the pancreas, and therefore, the primary was considered to be RCC. The primary and metastatic sites were negative for D2-40 IHC examination. Based on these results, we confirmed that the metastatic pathway to the breast from RCC was hematogenous.
