Late onset (22 years) of simultaneous tonsillar and cervical lymph node metastases from breast ductal carcinoma.

Tonsil metastases from breast cancer are extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of a 74-year-old woman with simultaneous occurrence of tonsillar and cervical lymph nodes metastases after a disease-free interval of 22 years.
