Abstract

Breast cancer is a complex and heterogeneous disease that can metastasize to various organs, with scalp involvement being an uncommon manifestation. This case report presents a rare occurrence of breast cancer metastasis to the scalp in a 56-year-old female patient with a history of invasive ductal carcinoma. The patient presented with a rapidly growing scalp nodule, which was initially misdiagnosed as a benign lesion. Subsequent investigations revealed the presence of metastatic breast cancer, highlighting the importance of considering unusual sites of metastasis in breast cancer patients. This case emphasizes the need for vigilant clinical evaluation and appropriate imaging studies to detect rare metastatic lesions, allowing for timely intervention and personalized treatment strategies.
