Isolated Metastatic Involvement of Sternum in Breast Cancer: A Case Report with Mini Review

Abstract

Solitary metastasis involving sternum in breast cancer is very uncommon and less is known about the possible mechanism. Similarly, clinical significance of this uncommon presentation is elusive. We are presenting a case of breast cancer with isolated sternal metastasis on radionuclide bone scan which was also documented on chest CT study. In this mini-review we will be discussing the possible mechanisms for isolated sternal metastasis in breast cancer, its clinical significance and therapeutic approaches used.
