Case Discussion
Breast neoplasms are one of the most common malignancies in females - presentation varies from non symptomatic identifed on screening investigations to fungating tumors.
Late presentation occurs even in developing societies with free health care systems largely due to fear.
The usual sites of metastases are locoregional lymph nodes, lungs and liver but the sites are legion.
