Abstract

Metastatic tumors to the breast are rare. A case of a 49- year old female patient with a fast growing breast lump, that proved to be metastatic melanoma from an earlier treated cutaneous melanoma of the lower extremity, is presented. Treatment suggestions are made considering the dismal prognosis of these patients.
