Background: Breast cancer tends to recur more often after long-term latency than other malignancies. Most recurrence, however, is within 5 years after curative surgery and rare or never after 15 years. A favorable prognosis may be expected in patients with estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer. We report a case with recurrence and metastases of breast cancer diagnosed 29 years after curative surgery. Case: A 74-year-old woman underwent radical mastectomy followed by radiation and chemotherapy for ductal carcinoma of the breast 29 years earlier. When she consulted a doctor for dyspnea on effort, she was found in computed tomography of the chest to have right pleural effusion and atelectasis of the right middle lobe of the lung. Cytology of the pleural effusion showed numerous cancer cell clusters that showed positive immunoreactivity for estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and c-erbB-2 in paraffin-embedded cell block specimens. No abnormal lesion was noted in the uterus. These findings led us to diagnose the cancer as recurrent breast cancer. Conclusion: This case shows that breast cancer may recur, more than 15 years after curative surgery.
