Retroperitoneal metastasis synchronous with brain and mediastinal lymph nodes metastasis from breast invasive ductal carcinoma as the first site of distant metastasis: a case report and review of literature.
We reported a case of a 52 year old Chinese patient who was diagnosed with retroperitoneal metastasis from breast invasive ductal carcinoma as the first site of distant metastasis synchronous with brain and mediastinal lymph nodes metastasis 4 years after modified radical mastectomy. Second-line chemotherapy of docetaxel and capecitabine was recommended. The response evaluation every two to three months was good. Unfortunately, the metastasis in the brain advanced. The patient was transferred to a radiotherapy department to receive radiotherapy and died 10 months later. We also review the related literature.
