Zusammenfassung:We report 3 cases of patients with a history of extra-mammary cancer who presented with breast nodules, leading to diagnostic challenges and occasional misleading imaging findings. These cases highlight the significance of radiologists considering breast metastases as a potential component of the differential diagnosis when assessing patients with a history of cancer who exhibit palpable breast nodules. Furthermore, these cases underscore the importance of integrating various imaging techniques with histological and immunohistochemical analyses of the lesions to achieve precise diagnoses, ultimately ensuring the highest quality of care for these patients.
