Introduction Breast cancer accounted for 23.3% of all cancers in women in Kenya during the year 2000-2002 (1). Almost two thirds of these patients presented at advanced stages. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) can be a cost effective tool for an early and rapid diagnosis (2). Facilities for doing FNA are not available to a large population of patients due to shortage of skilled operators and cytopa...

Breast is an uncommon and rare site for metastasis. Primary and secondary tumors of the breast need to be differentiated as management is different.
