Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is still the second leading cause of death, with most deaths caused by breast cancer being due to complications associated with metastasis. The target organ of metastasis that often occurs in breast cancer is the lung. Imaging modalities are essential to see breast cancer with lung metastasis and determine early intervention. Objective: Report on the case of a 60-year-old female patient with lung metastasis of breast carcinoma at Bethesda Hospital, Yogyakarta. Case Description: A 60-year-old female patient presented with complaints of shortness of breath on exertion and weight loss. The radiological finding was consistent with a lung metastatic lesion. Conclusion: Early diagnosis of breast tumors and lung metastases is crucial for effective treatment and a positive prognosis due to a much lower chance of death as well as higher survival rates in patients with smaller tumors at the time of diagnosis. Imaging using ultrasound-assisted mammography can be the primary modality for the diagnosis and screening of breast cancer, while for the detection of lung metastases, plain chest X-ray can be used as the primary modality for diagnosis and CT can be a supporting imaging method for the presence of smaller metastatic nodules.
