Abstract

Secondary breast tumours are very rare. Their clinical incidence is about 0.5 to 2% and osteosarcoma giving rise to breast metastasis in men has never been reported to our knowledge. We report the case of a 35-year-old patient with a tibial osteosarcoma with lung metastases in whom we discovered breast metastases. Mammography showed a calcified opacity. Histological examination of the biopsy specimen confirmed the osteosarcomatous nature of the lesion. The clinical course was marked by stabilization of lesions after three courses of palliative chemotherapy.

Ré sumé

Les métastases mammaires sont rares, leur incidence varie entre 0,5 et 2 %. Les métastases mammaires d’un ostéosarcome chez l’homme n’ont jamais été rapportées dans la littérature, auparavant, à notre connaissance. Nous rapportons l’observation d’un patient de 35 ans, suivi pour ostéosarcome du tibia métastatique au poumon, chez qui on a découvert une métastase mammaire. La mammographie a mis en évidence une opacité calcifiée. L’étude anatomopathologique de la lésion confirme sa nature ostéosarcomateuse. L’évolution a été marquée par une stabilisation des lésions secondaires après trois cures de chimiothérapie palliative.
