- Abstract
The patient is an 85-year-old female who had previously undergone a mastectomy for right breast cancer at the age of 42 years. In September 2020, she visited our hospital with a chief complaint of a chest wall tumor. Physical examination revealed a 3×3 cm ulcerative lesion on the right side of the center chest wall. She underwent a skin biopsy of the tumor under local anesthesia and was diagnosed with a recurrence of right breast cancer(ER positive, PR positive, HER2 negative). PET-CT revealed localized skin thickening on the right side of the sternum and FDG accumulation in the same area, with no other findings suggestive of distant metastasis. Treatment was started with anastrozole and is still ongoing. In this article, we report a very rare case of recurrence 43 years after surgery.
