Colon cancer primarily spreads to the liver and lungs. However, colon cancer does periodically spread to the ovary and on very rare occasions metastazies to the breast. Breast metastasis from primary colon cancer is extremely rare. We presented the case of a 37 year-old woman suffering from colon cancer which had spread to the ovariaes. After palliative chemotherapy, breast metastasis developed. The purose of this study was to examins the patients’ breast metastasis from colon cancer.
