ABSTRACT

Las metástasis ganglionares axilares contralaterales son un fenómeno poco frecuente en el cáncer de mama. Aunque se considera un estadio iv de la enfermedad, hay hipótesis que postulan que la diseminación de las células tumorales hasta los ganglios axilares contralaterales podría producirse mediante vía linfática y no por vía hematógena. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 35 años, diagnosticada de carcinoma ductal infiltrante de mama en estadio iii y tratada con quimioterapia neoadyuvante, mastectomía radical modificada, radioterapia y hormonoterapia. Siete meses después del tratamiento quirúrgico la enfermedad progresó con metástasis axilares contralaterales, sin evidencia de otra afectación a distancia. Se trata de una evolución inusual del cáncer de mama, y por tanto su manejo no está estandarizado. Hemos realizado una revisión de la literatura para buscar la mejor opción terapéutica en pacientes que presentan esta situación clínica (AU)


Contralateral axillary lymph node metastases are a rare presentation in breast cancer. Although they are considered stage IV of the disease, it has been postulated that the spread of tumour cells to the contralateral axillary lymph nodes could occur through the lymph vessels and not through the bloodstream. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman who was diagnosed with a stage III invasive breast carcinoma and was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, modified radical mastectomy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy. Seven months after the surgery, the disease progressed, showing contralateral axillary lymph node metastases with no evidence of any other distant disease. This is an unusual progression of breast cancer and thus its management is not standardized. We reviewed the literature to search for evidence on how to treat this very special clinical situation (AU)
