Abstract
Breast cancer is the commonest cancer among females and has a high propensity to metastasize, but gynaecological organs are rarely affected. We report a case where invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast metastasized to the uterus after initial management with curative intent. Our patient was on tamoxifen, which can cause endometrial hyperplasia and lead to a challenge in eventual diagnosis.
