Popis:	Liver metastasis commonly occurs; however, the luminal-type liver metastasis rarely develops at the early stage of breast cancer, posing key challenges in screening patients, giving early targeted treatment, and providing an opportunity to prolong survival. A 44-year-old female was diagnosed with breast cancer (pT2N0M0, IIa) and luminal B type postoperatively. The latest guidelines indicated four cycles of albumin-paclitaxel and cyclophosphamide chemotherapy. After 4 months of treatment, the patient was found to have hypoechoic nodules in the liver due to other diseases and was thereby diagnosed with breast cancer with liver metastasis. The latest guidelines did not recommend routine imaging and hematological examination of asymptomatic early breast cancer during follow-up. We suggest that follow-up should be strengthened for high-risk patients to maximize their benefits from early diagnosis and treatment.
