Week 436: Case 3

1. Presented by Peter Illei, M.D. and prepared by Hillary Ross, M.D.

47 y.o. female patient from Nigeria presented to a US physician several months earlier with a breast mass. A biopsy was performed and the diagnosis of poorly differentiated ductal carcinoma (ER/PR/HER2 negative) was established. She underwent mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection that was followed by chemotherapy. Six months later she now presents with bone (T6) metastasis.

Images 1-3 refer to the bone (T6) biopsy. Images 4 and 5 refer to the breast tumor.
