Appendiceal tumors are rare and are most commonly diagnosed incidentally during surgical removal of the appendix for acute appendicitis. Appendiceal adenocarcinomas are the most common appendiceal cancers, and their metastasis to the breast is extremely uncommon. We report a case of mucinous appendiceal adenocarcinoma presenting with breast metastasis. To the best of our knowledge, there has been only one case published in the literature about appendiceal cancer with metastasis to the breast. Interestingly, our patient's initial presentation was palpable breast masses rather than gastrointestinal symptoms.
阑尾肿瘤较为罕见,最常见的情况是在因急性阑尾炎进行阑尾手术切除时偶然被诊断出来。阑尾腺癌是最常见的阑尾癌,其转移至乳腺极为罕见。我们报告一例黏液性阑尾腺癌伴乳腺转移的病例。据我们所知,文献中仅发表过一例阑尾癌转移至乳腺的病例。有趣的是,我们的患者最初表现为可触及的乳腺肿块,而非胃肠道症状。
