Abstract

Melanoma is the skin tumor with the highest mortality. Light-skinned people with a skin phototype are more likely to develop melanoma. However, in albine patients, it is an infrequent finding. It is easy to metastasize, but the breast is a rare site of metastasis.
The objective is to report a case diagnosed with metastatic melanoma in the breast associated with the BRAF mutation gene in a patient with oculocutaneous albinism for treatment of two infrequent conditions (albinism and metastasis in the breast of a melanoma). We present a case of a 52-year-old female patient with the characteristics described above and a BRAF gene mutation, describing her presentation, diagnosis, and treatment
