Is Breast to Mouth Tumor Possible?

I don't have official results. However, the doctor said left breast is 90% malignant. I know I have BC.

My question is...I had a B9 tumor inside my(left-lower-bottom)mouth that was removed the week before the doctor said breast is 90% malignant. I know that it can spread to the lungs, kidneys, etc... But is there anyone out there that has/had a tumor in their mouth because of Breast Cancer? Has anyone heard of this? Does this follow under metastasize? I have a feeling this is very rare because I had to go to 3 different maxillofacial doctors before one agreed to remove it. He said that he had never seen a tumor like this and told me he had to "research" it because it is rare.  I'm so scared that the doctors have never heard of this and won't relate it to the BC and misdiagnose the stage and the type of BC.



Anyone...please help.

    The most common areas of metastasized BC are bones, liver, brain, lung, lymph nodes, and I have a friend where it spread to her diaphram. I have never heard kidney or mouth mets when it comes to BC.

    Im guessing when you say that your left breast is 90% malignant, what you are trying to say is that there is a 90% chance that the pathology report from your biopsy will come back positive for cancer.

    If your mouth tumor came back B9, then it is not cancer. It's B9. B9 tumors don't become cancer tumors. A B9 tumor remains B9. Cancer is something completely different.

    If you are definitely diagnosed with cancer, it will take some time for your complete diagnosis to come into view as there are over 20+ different breast cancerS, not to mention subtypes. And there are subtypes to subtypes.

    Even with the high probability of your biopsy coming back malignant, you may be in an early stage. What size was the lesion that was biopsied? Do you have a copy of your radiology report that explains why your doctor sees it as a 90% chance of malignancy?

    Do you have the pathology back from your mouth tumor? I did hear that somebody had breast cancer mets on their lip. I bet your tumors are totally unrelated.

    As marie5890 said, a benign tumor is not cancerous and is therefore not a metastasis of any type of cancer. Was your doctor saying he was 90% sure that you have breast cancer? Was this based on a breast biopsy or imaging? Regardless, try to take it one step at a time and don't get ahead of yourself. Yes, easier said than done, but good to aim for.

    Thank you all so much for replying! I can't tell you how much that means to me. The doctor that did the ultrasound, told me that there is a 90% chance that my left breast is malignant. Today I had the biopsy...in both breast but the doctors are most concerned with the left breast. Today, the radiologist doctor said he is 95% sure it is cancer. He said that the mass is solid and not liquid and that the mass has jagged edges. He also said that he could not see that it has affected my lymph nodes by using the ultrasound, however, if I have surgery they may take one out to look at it more closely.

    I talked to my maxillofacial and he said that when they did the biopsy for my mouth tumor that not only was it B9 but it did not show that it contained breast tissue. So, I am hoping that means that it has not metastasized.

    All I have to do is wait for the results and that is so much harder than most people think. I am going insane because that is all I think about. I feel like I'm so alone and most people don't worry this much. I wish I was stronger and more positive.

    Rainbow, most people do worry and everyone tries to tell you not to, but it is really hard. Just take it oneday at a time, I found out this can take a year before your done with treatments and surgeries. Research the types of surgeries Lumpectomy, and the various reconstructions and research the Onco doctors in your area, give you a bit of a feeling like your doing something. I did this and by the time I had to move to the next step I was all set and just concentrated on that step. It helps.
