Abstract:
A rare case of a metastatic lesion of breast carcinoma in the talus of the left foot, approximately 14 months after simple mastectomy including resection of axillary lymph node is reported. The operation was undertaken 14 months prior to this admission and gradual onset of pain, swelling and redness were noticed about the left ankle. X-ray showed irregular osteolytic changes on the superolateral aspect of the body and the superior aspect of the neck of the left talus without periosteal reaction, Metastasis was confirmed by biopsy and pathological findings were also submitted.
