Metastases to the breast from tumors other than breast carcinomas are extremely rare and represent only 0.2-1.3% of all diagnosed malignant breast tumors. Furthermore, while the most common sites for advanced ovarian cancer metastases are the liver, lung, and pleura, metastasis to the breast from a primary ovarian cancer is uncommon and has only been reported in 0.03-0.6% of all breast cancers. Here we describe a case report of a 50-year-old female patient with a rare case of breast metastases from an advanced ovarian cancer, presenting as inflammatory breast cancer. Our observations emphasize the clinical importance of distinguishing between primary and metastatic breast cancer during diagnosis for the purpose of appropriate prognosis and treatment.
源自非乳腺癌肿瘤的乳腺转移极为罕见，仅占所有确诊恶性乳腺肿瘤的0.2 - 1.3%。此外，虽然晚期卵巢癌转移最常见的部位是肝脏、肺和胸膜，但原发性卵巢癌转移至乳腺并不常见，在所有乳腺癌中仅占0.03 - 0.6%。在此，我们报告一例50岁女性患者，罕见地出现晚期卵巢癌乳腺转移，表现为炎性乳腺癌。我们的观察结果强调了在诊断过程中区分原发性和转移性乳腺癌对于恰当预后和治疗的临床重要性。
