Vulvar metastasis of breast carcinoma. A case report.
BACKGROUND
Metastasis of breast carcinoma to the vulva is rare: only a few cases have been previously described.


METHODS
A 61-year-old woman with a history of recurrent breast carcinoma presented with a painless lump on the vulva. Excisional biopsy showed an infiltrating adenocarcinoma that was histologically similar to the primary breast tumor.


CONCLUSIONS
This report is another of breast carcinoma metastatic to the vulva. The clinical features and histologic findings distinguish this lesion from a primary breast carcinoma occurring in ectopic breast tissue.
