Abstract

Post-mastectomy radiotherapy has been demonstrated to improve locoregional control in breast cancer patients. We report a case involving a 44-year-old breast cancer patient who presented with a solitary bone metastasis in the area beneath the shoulder shield, likely from a coincidental recurrence.
Keywords: solitary bone metastasis; recurrence; post-mastectomy radiotherapy solitary bone metastasis; recurrence; post-mastectomy radiotherapy
