Abstract: Metastases to the breast are very uncommon as compared to primary tumours. Breast is an unusual site for metastasis from renal cell carcinoma. Only occasional cases are reported in the literature. These metastases must be clearly diagnosed as the treatment of primary breast cancer and metastases differs markedly. Treatment of isolated metastases from renal cell carcinoma is usually surgical resection. We report two cases of isolated metachronous metastases to breast from renal cell carcinoma.
