Bilateral metastatic breast cancer as the first manifestation of ovarian cancer: case report.
BACKGROUND
Breast metastasis from primary ovarian cancer is extremely rare. The rarity of this finding may be the reason for its common misinterpretation as primary breast carcinoma.


METHODS
Case report.


METHODS
A university hospital.


RESULTS
A case of a patient with primary ovarian papillary serous cystadenocarcinoma who initially presented with a solitary bilateral breast mass and abdominal distention is reported.


CONCLUSIONS
Blood-borne metastasis from the ovary to the breast can show a varied clinical picture that should be differentiated from that of primary breast carcinoma.
