Abstrakt: | Adrenal gland metastasis is rare, often associated with invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) rather than infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC). This report presents a case of a 43-year-old female with bilateral breast IDC and metastasis to the adrenal gland, with bilateral axillary and supraclavicular node involvement. Initial symptoms included a nipple discharge and a palpable lump. Diagnostic imaging and biopsy confirmed IDC, grade 2, with positive estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) status and negative human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status. The patient is undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, with adrenalectomy planned post chemotherapy. The case underscores the need for early diagnosis and rapid treatment to improve outcomes, highlighting the paucity of data on managing solitary adrenal metastasis from IDC. Further research and clinical trials are essential to develop standardized treatment protocols. Competing Interests: Human subjects: Consent was obtained or waived by all participants in this study.
