Case Report: METASTASIS OF OVARIAN CANCER TO BREAST: THE IMPORTANCE OF PATHOLOGIC FEATURES IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF RECURRENCES

 .....We suggest that, in patients with history of ovarian cancer who present with axillary or breast mass, every effort should be made to have an accurate histological diagnosis since this has a great impact on treatment. It is critical to recognize histologic pattern and distinguish it from de novo ductal carcinoma in situ. Immunohistochemistry is essential when the diagnosis is still vague.
