Abstract EN
Synchronous and metachronous breast cancer usually occur in patients with a previous history of breast cancer and positive family history of breast cancer.
Self-examination and screening programs significantly helped in increasing the detection rates and improving the prognosis in such cases.
The most common pathology found in synchronous bilateral breast cancer is infiltrating ductal carcinoma.
We report a case of a sixty-seven-year-old female with a lump in the right breast of one-month duration.
Mammogram and ultrasound (US) of both breasts were performed and showed bilateral synchronous breast malignant lesions (BI-RADS 5).
Ultrasound guided biopsy was performed for both lesions and the pathology was medullary carcinoma in the right breast and mucinous carcinoma in the left breast.
