RESUMO
Multiple primary malignancies (MPMs) occur when an individual develops two or more distinct primary cancers. These are categorized as synchronous or metachronous based on the timing of their diagnosis. Patients previously diagnosed with cancer face increased risks due to exposure to carcinogenic factors and treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Individuals with a history of breast cancer are known to have elevated risks for secondary malignancies compared to the general population. However, cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the eyelid in this group are exceedingly rare. Here, we present a case report describing a young female patient who sequentially developed metachronous breast cancer, and a human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated SCC of the eyelid. To the best of our knowledge, this case report represents the first documented instance of this specific combination of primary neoplasms in medical literature.
