Abstract

We report a rare case of single cervical metastasis of breast cancer. Bone metastases are the most frequent in breast cancer. Early diagnosis combined with the new therapeutic advances have considerably improved the quality of life and increased the survival. Imaging plays a great role in the diagnosis, particularly scintigraphy and radiography, but sometimes also CT and MRI. The treatment is currently not standardized and it combines hormone therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and/or surgery.
