Abstract
The most common sites of distant metastasis for breast are the lungs, liver, bones and brain. Here we report an extremely rarepresentation of isolated salivary gland metastasis from primary breast cancer, indicating advanced stage of breast disease and signof poor prognosis. The case emphasizes the need for a thorough workup for distant metastatic disease in patients diagnosed withinvasive breast cancer.
