title: [Appendicular metastatic involvement in breast cancer].
abstract: The paper describes a case of appendicular metastatic involvement in breast cancer. The 60-year-old female patient developed the signs of acute appendicitis 18 years after detection of primary tumor; after appendectomy the intraoperative appendular specimens exhibited trains of tumor cells that infiltrated the mid- and lower muscle layer third. Immunohistochemical study revealed a moderate expression of Er and Pgr receptors (150 H scores), a positive reaction with EMA, K7, K6, and lactoalbumin The authors review the data available in the literature on the specific features of metastatic spread into the appendix and on management tactics in these patients.
