Extragenital metastases to uterine leiomyomata. A case report.
Malignant extragenital neoplasms with metastases to the uterus are not common, and involvement of a uterine leiomyoma by an extragenital tumor is rare. A case of an infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast occurred, with widespread metastases that included a uterine myoma. This entity can be confused with a bizarre or symplastic leiomyoma.
