Abstract
Pulmonary metastectomy may not be the primary therapeutic option in metastatic breast cancer patients, and patients should be treated principally with chemotherapy. As pulmonary nodules that appear in breast cancer patients are not always pulmonary metastases, the pathologic diagnosis should be confirmed, and surgery is an option for the pathologic confirmation.
