    Objective: When the clinical presentation is related to the metastatic mass and a radiologically solitary tumor focus is detected, especially in cases where clinical information is not taken into account or is insufficient, if a possible metastatic neoplasia is not kept in mind then it is possible to evaluate the tumor as a primary breast neoplasm. In this study, it is aimed to present our cases of non-hematopoietic metastatic neoplasms and to evaluate the clinicopathological features that may aid in distinguishing metastatic from primary neoplasms. Material and Methods: This study includes cases diagnosed with metastatic non-hematopoietic breast neoplasm in breast resection materials in our center, between the years 2010-2023. All cases were analyzed retrospectively by evaluating clinicopathological features. Results: Of the 15 subjects included in the study, 11 (73%) were female and 4 (27%) were male. The mean age of the patients were 46.9 ranged from 22 to 63 years. The most frequent metastatic malignancy was carcinoma (60%), followed by melanoma (33%) and sarcoma (7%). Of the 9 patients with metastatic carcinoma, the primary tumor originated from the lungs in 4, from gastrointestinal system in 2, female genital tract in 2, and kidney in 1 patient. Sarcoma diagnosis was given in a single patient and the histology was a leiomyosarcoma originating from kidney. Conclusion: A careful histomorphological and immunohistochemical evaluation and a detailed examination of the clinicoradiological data are critical to establish the right course in patient management, treatment plan and to correctly predict the prognosis.
