The breast journal, October 2020, 2020-10-00, 20201001, Letnik: 26, Številka: 10Journal Article
Metastatic involvement of the breast is far less common than primary breast carcinoma, comprising 0.5%‐6.6% of all breast malignancies. Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive tumor with higher incidence among men, particularly smokers, strongly associated with asbestos exposure. The epithelioid type of MPM can represent a diagnostic pitfall in this setting, as it shows similar histologic features to primary breast carcinoma as well as other metastatic epithelioid malignancies. We report a rare case of breast metastasis of malignant pleural mesothelioma in a 61‐year‐old female.
