Breast cancer with inguinal node recurrence

الملخص EN

Surgery and irradiation for breast cancer may interfere with conventional pathways of spread, leading to bizarre patterns of dissemination through lymphatics or through hematogenous route.

Lymphoscintigraphic studies may help identify nodal involvement.

Other possible reasons could be occurrence of primary breast cancer in accessory breast tissue retained in the vulva following involution of milk line.

We describe a case of triple negative breast cancer, who developed contralateral breast cancer during treatment.

Three years later, she developed isolated inguinal nodal metastases, which responded to local radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

However, the patient relapsed after 2 years and could not be salvaged thereafter.
