Solitary Pectoral Metastases in Occult Invasive Lobular Carcinoma
Abstract
Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is a common subtype of breast cancer diagnoses, accounting for up
to 15% of breast cancer cases. Occult breast cancer (OBC) is a rarer subset, accounting for 0.1-1% of
cases and usually manifest as axillary lymph node metastases from a malignant primary breast
carcinoma in the absence of a clinically or radiologically assessable breast mass.
This case report provides a unique insight into a patient with an occult primary invasive lobular
carcinoma with solitary metastases to the ipsilateral pectoral muscle, without features of axillary
lymph node involvement or distant metastatic spread. This case also reiterates the challenges faced
when managing occult breast cancers.
