Invasive ductal carcinoma within fibroadenoma and lung metastases

Abstract

Fibroadenomas are one of the most common benign tumors of the breast. Malignant transformation from fibroadenoma to cancer is rare. We present a case of an invasive ductal carcinoma within an otherwise benign fibroadenoma with lung metastasis in a 69-year-old woman. © 2012 Abu-Rahmeh et al, publisher and licensee Dove Medical Press Ltd.
