The discussion focuses on the role of palliative mastectomy in improving the quality of life and increasing the survival rate, which continues to be an important adjunct in metastatic and locally advanced breast cancer. It remains a challenge for the physician to decide in advanced disease situations what is best for the patient and what is technically possible to achieve. We present the case of a patient who seeks medical attention late, when the tumor invades the entire breast and there are local complications such as hemorrhage. ER -
