Abstract :

Isolated metastatic lesion in breast from primary ovarian cancer ovary is rare. Here we present a case of isolated breast metastases from carcinoma ovary. Patient presented with abdominal distension and breast lump. The diagnosis was confirmed with histopathology and immuno -histochemistry. The histopathology of breast lesion was similar to ovary and malignant cells in breast lesion and axillary lymph nodes were positive for CA-125 and negative for estrogen and progesterone receptors. Patient was diagnosed as a case of carcinoma ovary with breast metastases. She underwent surgery and was subsequently treated with Paclitaxel and Carboplatin. This article highlights the rarity of this condition and difficulty in making this diagnosis.
