Metastatic carcinoma of the breast may display varied clinicopathological patterns. Lymphatic spread to the inguinal lymph nodes is, however, very rare.
To report two cases of advanced breast carcinoma with metastases to the inguinal lymph nodes in two Nigerian women.
The University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
Two Nigerian women, one aged 40 years with an invasive lobular carcinoma of the right breast, and the other aged 48 years with an infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the left breast, presented with metastases to their corresponding inguinal lymph nodes diagnosed by open biopsy.
The first had a right simple mastectomy done and was lost to follow up before any adjuvant therapy could be administered. The second died before any definitive treatment could be offered.
Metastasis to the inguinal nodes is rare and signifies an advanced disease. The pathogenesis is speculative, probably from retrograde embolisation.
乳腺癌转移癌可能呈现多种临床病理模式。然而，淋巴转移至腹股沟淋巴结非常罕见。
报告两名尼日利亚女性晚期乳腺癌伴腹股沟淋巴结转移的病例。
尼日利亚哈科特港大学教学医院。
两名尼日利亚女性，一名40岁，患有右乳浸润性小叶癌，另一名48岁，患有左乳浸润性导管癌，经开放活检诊断为相应腹股沟淋巴结转移。
第一名患者接受了右乳单纯乳房切除术，在能够给予任何辅助治疗之前失访。第二名患者在能够提供任何确定性治疗之前死亡。
腹股沟淋巴结转移罕见，表明疾病已处于晚期。发病机制尚属推测，可能源于逆行栓塞。
