Abstract
Breast cancer, given its high incidence rate and morbidity, is one of the most extensively studied malignancies in contemporary medical research. Despite rapid advancements in screening protocols, targeted therapies, and surgical techniques, some aspects of its natural history are still unexplored, particularly the issue of dormancy and late recurrence. In this case report, we present a patient who experienced a relapse 35 years after the curative treatment for invasive breast carcinoma. The diagnostic procedure, therapeutic management, and outcome are thoroughly described. In addition we performed a brief literature review regarding this issue.
