Abstract:
Abstract: Solitary adrenal metastasis is a rare
presentation in breast cancer and it presents the
clinician with a difficult therapeutic dilemma as there
are no existing guidelines for optimal management.
On literature review, we only found one published case
report of solitary adrenal metastasis from infiltrating
ductal carcinoma of the breast. Here we present a case
of a 75 year-old lady who presented with a right breast
lump which was subsequently confirmed to be infiltrating
ductal carcinoma. She underwent a right mastectomy
and axillary clearance. Computerised tomography
(CT) staging revealed a solitary adrenal metastasis. She
was treated with aromatase inhibitors and her tumour
markers which were initially raised has now normalised.
