Abstract
A 46-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of a left breast tumor. She had received adjuvant chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer. No obvious tumor was palpated on physical examination. Ultrasonography of the breast revealed a 10×7mm low echoic mass with heterogeneous center and microlobulated boundary. Fine needle aspiration cytology showed a suspicion of ductal carcinoma. Lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy were performed. The pathological diagnosis was mammary and axillally lymph node metastases from ovarian cancer.
Mammary metastases from ovarian cancer are rare. We report this rare case of breast metastasis from ovarian cancer, together with a brief review of the literature.
