Two cases of breast metastases from renal carcinoma are described herein. One patient underwent nephrectomy two years earlier and the other patient presented with bilateral involvement. The cytological features gleaned from fine needle aspiration biopsy are described. The diagnostic value of fine needle aspiration is underscored. This procedure makes surgery unnecessary and, furthermore, permits instituting a more adequate therapy.
