  • Title: Primary pulmonary cancer colliding with metastatic breast carcinoma: hitherto unreported cases of cancer-to-cancer metastasis focusing on clinical implications.
    Author: Piacentini F, Rossi G, Casali C, Cadioli A, Barbieri E, Guarneri V.
    Journal: Lung Cancer; 2011 Oct; 74(1):145-8. PubMed ID: 21767893.
    Abstract:
    Lung is one of the main sites of metastatic tumors, but collision neoplasms consisting of a primary lung cancer and metastatic breast carcinoma have never been so far reported. We describe here 2 cases of primary non-small cell lung cancers (squamous cell and adenocarcinoma, respectively) colliding with metastatic breast carcinomas (ductal and lobular carcinomas, respectively). Clinico-pathologic features characterizing this challenging diagnosis and the important therapeutic implications are discussed.
