Metastasis to epitrochlear lymph node from primary invasive breast malignancy is extremely rare and to the best of our knowledge, only one case has been reported in literature till date. Here we report a case of invasive ductal carcinoma of breast in a premenopausal female who developed metastasis to ipsilateral epitrochlear lymph node almost two and a half years post treatment of the primary tumour.
