Resumen

Mujer de 35 años de edad que acude con un carcinoma lobulillar infiltrante de la mama. Fue tratada con mastectomía y disección axilar (T1N1Mx), cobalto-terapia y quimioterapia (CMF). Después de 6 años de remisión completa fue diagnosticada de metástasis suprarrenales aisladas tratadas con cirugía radical. Se comenta la relación entre el carcinoma de mama y las metástasis endocrinas, así como la relevancia de la detección immunohistoquímica de resistencia multi-farmacológica en el tratamiento.
