| description | We present a case of 35 years old women who presented to our institution with a history of bilateral infiltrating duct cell carcinoma of breast, chest pain with heaviness, severe respiratory distress and hypotension.

Cytological examination confirmed the previous suspicious of malignancy. The patient tolerated the procedure very well, immediate symptomatic relief was observed. |
