Carcinoid tumor metastatic to the breast is very uncommon. The rarity of this finding may be the reason for its common misinterpretation as primary breast carcinoma. A patient with primary ovarian carcinoid that presented initially with a solitary breast mass is reported. A review of the literature discloses only 12 reported cases of carcinoid tumor metastatic to the breast, with none of the primaries found to be the ovary.
类癌转移至乳腺非常罕见。这一发现的罕见性可能是其常被误诊为原发性乳腺癌的原因。本文报道了一例最初以孤立性乳腺肿块就诊的原发性卵巢类癌患者。文献回顾显示,仅有12例类癌转移至乳腺的报道病例,且均未发现原发性肿瘤位于卵巢。
