Abstract

The occurrence of dual primary cancers is rare, it can be missed as a disease progression. The etiology and possibility of the effect of the antiangiogenesis remain controversial. We report a case of a 41-year-old female with renal cell carcinoma treated with right-sided nephrectomy, after one year of programed follow-up presented with ipsilateral breast mass which was proven after the biopsy to be primary adenocarcinoma of the breast. Any suspicious disease progression in a site not compatible with disease history should be biopsied for confirmation. The relationship between renal cell carcinoma and breast cancer is still unclear, and more case reports are required to determine this relationship.
