Despite bilateral breast cancer being a rare clinical entity compared to unilateral breast cancer, both share a treatment paradigm of breast-conserving therapy for limited disease and metastasis direct therapy for oligometastatic disease. We present a case of left breast invasive ductal carcinoma in the setting of original bilateral breast cancer, now with oligometastatic recurrence to the soft tissue of the sternum, notably in an area not previously irradiated, over a decade later.
Keywords: bilateral breast cancer; breast cancer recurrence; cancer recurrence; invasive ductal breast carcinoma; metastasis directed therapy (mdt); oligometastatic breast cancer; tangential radiation fields.
