Introduction. Most common metastasis sites of breast cancer are the lungs, bones, liver, and brain, whereas uterine involvement by metastatic breast disease is rare. Metastatic carcinoma of the uterus usually originates from other genital sites, most commonly being from the ovaries. Invasive lobular carcinoma spreads to gynecologic organs more frequently than invasive ductal carcinoma. Case Report. A 57-year-old postmenopausal woman was diagnosed with breast carcinoma 2 years ago and modified radical mastectomy was performed. Pathological examination of tumor revealed invasive ductal carcinoma, stage IIIc. She presented with abdominal pain and distension. Diagnostic workup and gynecologic examination revealed lesions that caused diffuse thickening of the uterus wall. Endometrial sampling was performed for confirmation of the diagnosis. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Breast carcinoma metastases in endometrium and myometrium were confirmed histopathologically and immunohistochemically. Conclusion. We herein report the first case of isolated uterine patient who had invasive ductal carcinoma of breast.

Ectopic breast tissue can occur anywhere along the primitive embryonic milk line and can be the site of the same pathologic processes found in the normal breast. Phyllodes tumor is an extremely rare fibroepithelial neoplasm that occurs in ectopic breast tissue of the vulva. To date, only 8 cases of phyllodes tumor in the vulva have been reported in the literature. This paper presents two additional case of benign phyllodes tumor in the vulva. The first patient was a 43-year-old woman, presenting with a lesion on the left anterior mons pubis that had increased in size in the last three months. The second patient was a 50-year-old woman, presenting with a two-month history of a mass in the right labium majus. The patients underwent excisional biopsy. The histological examination of both specimens revealed a characteristic pattern of benign phyllodes tumor. In conclusion, the pathologists need to be aware that the lesion can occur in this location. Herein, the concepts about the histogenesis of phyllodes tumor in the vulva are discussed and a brief review of the previously reported cases is given. Key Words: Vulva, Phyllodes tumor ÖZEktopik meme dokusu ilkel embriyonik sütyolu boyunca herhangi bir yerde ortaya çıkabilir ve normal memede izlenebilen aynı patolojik durumlar ektopik meme dokusunda da görülebilir. Fillods tümör vulvadaki ektopik meme dokusunda oluşan nadir bir fibroepitelyal neoplazidir. Literatürde bugüne kadar 8 olgu bildirilmiştir. Bu makalede literatüre ek olarak iki ayrı vulvar fillods tümör vakası sunulmuştur. İlk olgu, sol ön mons pubiste boyutu son üç ayda artış gösteren bir lezyon ile kliniğe başvurmuş 43 yaşında kadın hastadır. İkinci olgu 50 yaşında kadın hasta olup, iki aydır varolan sağ labium majusta kitle ile başvurmuştur. Mevcut lezyonlara eksizyonel biopsi yapılmış ve örneklerin patolojisi benign fillods tümör ile uyumlu rapor edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, fillods tümörün vulva lokalizasyonunda da karşılaşabilecek bir antite olduğu unutulmamalıdır. Burada, vulvar fillods tümörün histogenezi ile ilgili kavramlar tartışılmış ve olgularımız daha önce bildirilen olgular eşliğinde sunulmuştur.

Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the cervix is a rare disease, of which a subgroup of follicular lymphoma constitutes only 8.5%. There is not an established treatment protocol neither for primary cervical lymphoma nor for its follicular subgroup. We presented a case with Ann Arbor stage IEA (Extra-nodal involvement and absence of weight loss, fever, night sweat) primary follicular lymphoma of the cervix. She was treated with chemotherapy followed by pelvic radiotherapy. Upon relapse with a nodal neck mass, she was treated with rituximab alone. She remained well for 23 months after rituximab. In the 39 months of follow-up, there was no evidence of disease. In the light of our case, we reviewed the reported cases of primary follicular lymphoma of the cervix while discussing their treatment protocols and the cases of primary cervix lymphoma treated with rituximab.
