Ovarian carcinoma metastatic to the breast.
Breast involvement in ovarian cancer is extremely rare. We report a case of solitary breast metastasis from ovarian carcinoma in a 43-year-old white woman, 3 months following diagnosis of ovarian cancer. The diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic aspects as well as a review of the literature of this uncommon site of metastasis are discussed.
