Abstract
Aims: Breast cancer is a malignant neoplasm caused by disordered clonal proliferation of breast cells, resulting from the influence of hormonal exposure or inherited susceptible genes. Case Presentation: The present report is about a female patient with comorbidities, such as systemic arterial hypertension and depression, and with a previous history of breast cancer in 2008 and 2009 and underwent a mastectomy in 2015. She was admitted for investigation of tumor recurrence, and was diagnosed with a primary breast tumor, estrogen and progesterone receptor, which gave rise to a series of complications, culminating in septic shock and fatal outcome. Discussion: According to the Global Cancer Observatory, breast cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm in the world. Conclusion: The importance of cancer patients, especially those with breast tumors, is emphasized to maintain follow-up after undergoing surgical treatment for removal of the tumor and subsequent remission of the disease, since the early intervention of any complication is related to greater survival and better quality of life.
