Metastatic ovarian cancer to the breast is a rare presentation, with limited cases reported worldwide. Common sites for distant metastasis in ovarian cancer are to the liver, lung, and pleura [Dauplat et al. Cancer. 1987 Oct 1;60(7):1561-6]. Usually, such cases predict poor prognosis with troublesome management. We present one challenging case of a 54-year-old female patient with recurrent clear cell ovarian cancer, presenting with right breast mass of primary versus secondary origin, progressing into inflammatory breast cancer picture. Our report aims to shed light on the value of early suspicion and low threshold of detecting secondary breast masses of ovarian cancer origin.
卵巢癌转移至乳腺是一种罕见的表现,全球报道的病例有限。卵巢癌远处转移的常见部位是肝脏、肺和胸膜[道普拉特等人。《癌症》。1987年10月1日;60(7):1561 - 6]。通常,这类病例预后不佳,治疗棘手。我们报告一例具有挑战性的病例,一名54岁女性复发性透明细胞卵巢癌患者,出现右侧乳腺肿块,其来源为原发性或继发性,进而发展为炎性乳腺癌表现。我们的报告旨在阐明早期怀疑和对检测卵巢癌来源的继发性乳腺肿块保持低阈值的价值。
