► The breast as a site of metastasis from primary ovarian carcinoma is uncommon. ► Distinguishing these metastases from primary breast tumors is important because the prognosis and therapeutic approach differ significantly. ► Immunohistochemical markers (e.g., PAX8) can be utilized when morphology and clinical history are insufficient to render the correct diagnosis.
► 乳腺作为原发性卵巢癌的转移部位并不常见。
► 将这些转移灶与原发性乳腺肿瘤区分开来很重要,因为预后和治疗方法有显著差异。
► 当形态学和临床病史不足以做出正确诊断时,可使用免疫组化标记物(如PAX8)。
