Case report demonstrates favorable recovery after laparoscopic adrenalectomy in breast cancer with metachronous adrenal metastasis, highlighting its role as a potential curative approach.
Invasive ductal breast carcinoma (IDC) metastasizes to several organs, but it does not usually affect the adrenal glands. In our knowledge, the cases described in the literature are few. A 60-year-old woman diagnosed with ductal breast carcinoma, was found to have adrenal metachronous metastasis during follow-up. While treatment is unclear, laparoscopic adrenalectomy could be a treatment option with curative intention. In our patient, we decided transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy, with favourable evolution after surgery.
