Breast cancer metastasis to thymus.

BMJ Case Reports 2023 March 24

We intend to report a rare case of a woman in her 40s who presented with bilateral nipple discharge for 2 months. A triple assessment confirmed left breast carcinoma.

The patient made a good recovery following surgical and oncological treatment.
