| Article Title: | Management of occult breast cancer presenting as an axillary metastasis |
| Abstract: | The presentation of cancer in an axillary lymph node without an obvious primary site is a diagnostic challenge. This is particularly true in female patients. A diagnosis of metastatic adenocarcinoma consistent with occult breast primary requires further prompt therapy. Copyright © 1991 Wiley‐Liss, Inc., A Wiley Company |
