An unusual case is presented of carcinoma of the prostate metastasizing to both breasts (verified by biopsy). This is the sixth such case to be reported. The relationship of breast tumors to estrogen therapy is discussed. The estrogen therapy given for treatment of prostatic carcinoma apparently does not influence the occurrence of metastases to the breast.
