abstract = "Detection of incidental malignant lesions in the breast has a significant clinical impact not only on healthy individuals but also on patients with known malignant disease. This review describes a spectrum of metastatic breast lesions incidentally detected by FDG PET-CT at staging that may be misinterpreted as second primary malignancy. The common non-mammary malignancies that metastasize to the breast include melanoma, hematopoietic malignancies and epithelial cancers. We present the FDG PET-CT features of incidental non-mammary metastases to the breast that may help distinguish primary breast cancer from metastatic disease and aid in the management of patients with a known malignancy.",
