Regression of late onset choroidal metastasis from a breast carcinoma with letrozole.

We report the case of a 50-year-old woman with a history of diabetes mellitus who underwent left breast lumpectomy and ipsilateral lymphadenectomy in 1994 because of an infiltrating ductal carcinoma. Chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy to the breast and nodal areas were performed. In 2010, in a routine screening for diabetic retinopathy, two choroidal elevated masses above and below the optic nerve associated to serous retinal detachment of her right eye were noted.

[Locoregional recurrences after conservative treatment of breast cancer stage I-II].

Background: Since 1992 conservative treatment of breast cancer (stage I and II: clinical TNM) has been established as an alternative to mastectomy in our hospital. The aim of this retrospective study was to analyse locoregional recurrence features and to compare prognosis with regard to to site of recurrence.

Method: Between 1987 and 1993, 489 patients with breast cancer (stages I and II) were treated with conservative surgery and radiation therapy at the Hospital Sant Pau of Barcelona.
