Abstract
Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer affecting women around the world. Symptomatic bone marrow metastases is a rare occurrence in patients with metastatic breast cancer. For the specialists, managing patients with bone marrow metastases presents significant challenges. Therefore it is important to carefully balance the risks and benefits of a course of treatment. We present a case study of a 56-year-old female patient with pancytopenia who showed no signs of breast cancer. However the breast carcinoma were discovered in the bone marrow by a biopsy. Chemotherapy and hormonal therapy were administered to this patient, and the outcomes were encouraging
