title: Ovarian dysgerminoma metastatic to the breast.
abstract: A 16-year-old girl underwent a right salpingo-oophorectomy for a pure dysgerminoma limited to the right ovary. One month later, she developed a right pelvic mass along with abdominal lymphadenopathies, peritoneal carcinomatosis, left breast mass, and left axillary node. Cytology of the breast mass was suggestive of a pure dysgerminoma. Breast metastases of epithelial ovarian carcinoma are uncommon. In the literature, this is the first case of a breast metastasis of an ovarian dysgerminoma.
