Abstract：
:Metastatic involvement of brachial plexopathy is a rare condition that is often associated with advanced systemic breast cancer and the role of surgeon appears to be restricted because radio-chemotherapy is better recommended in this setting. We report a case of a 64-year-old woman that presented a very delayed breast cancer metastatic lower trunks lesions without associated radiation injury, treated by surgery. MRI of plexus and CT of chest and axilla are methods of choice in preoperative radiological evaluation. Neurosurgeon effort is restricted to provide pathologic diagnosis (confirm of metastasis), adequate pain control and improvement of neurological function. So that surgical exploration and neurolysis should be performed as soon as possible after appearance of neurological deficits before denervation signs occurs. General surgeon presence should be warranted for more radical removal of remain lymph nodes and metastatic nodal infiltration of adjacent anatomical structures (vessels and so on) when detected by preoperative radiological work-up.
