The first two cases of breast metastases from anaplastic carcinoma of the nasopharynx are presented. In both cases the breast metastasis was solitary, but there was no delay in confirming their metastatic nature since both lesions manifested after the documentation of disseminated disease. The difference in histology, since 99% of our nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients have anaplastic carcinoma of poorly differentiated carcinoma subtype, makes it easy to differentiate them from primary breast cancer by cytology or histology.
本文报告了首例鼻咽癌间变性癌发生乳腺转移的病例。两例均为单发乳腺转移，但由于两例病变均在确诊有播散性疾病后出现，故在确定其转移性质方面没有延误。由于我们99%的鼻咽癌患者为低分化癌亚型的间变性癌，其组织学差异使得通过细胞学或组织学检查很容易将它们与原发性乳腺癌区分开来。
