We report a case of ileal carcinoid which clinically presented as a primary breast carcinoma. Review of the literature demonstrated only 9 cases of carcinoids metastatic to the breast. In spite of the rarity of this event, the differential diagnosis between primary and metastatic carcinoid of the breast should be considered in view of the different clinical management of these two settings.
