Primary adenocarcinoma of the breast arising in the vulva.
Primary adenocarcinoma of ectopic breast tissue in the vulva has been reported in only four instances. A fifth case, in which estrogen and progesterone receptors were present, is described. Estrogen and progesterone receptor studies may be helpful in identifying adenocarcinoma of uncertain origin.
