چکیده
Rectal cancer metastatic to the breast is an exceedingly rare event with around 15 cases reported in the literature. A metastatic breast deposit from the rectum signifies diffuse disseminated disease or a highly aggressive tumor such that surgical intervention other than palliation has a limited role. In the present report, we discuss a patient who presented with rectal cancer and developed a breast metastatic deposit. She soon developed progressive metastatic involvement of the lungs and the soft tissues and succumbed to the malignant course of this disease 12 months after the diagnosis of the primary rectal tumor.
