“…As in our series, the most commonly reported gynecologic cancer to metastasize to the breast is serous carcinoma. [7][8][9] Other unusual gynecologic tumors reported to have metastasized to the breast included endometrial stromal sarcoma, 14 ovarian clear cell carcinoma, 7 ovarian granulosa cell tumor 15 ovarian dysgerminoma 16 and choriocarcinoma. 5 The current study included one ovarian clear cell carcinoma and one choriocarcinoma.…”

“…2,5,30,32 The exception to this is serous ovarian carcinoma, which very frequently has psammomatous calcifications. 8,9 These features contrast with primary breast carcinoma, as it is usually an ill-defined lesion, infiltrates breast parenchyma, and often contains in situ carcinoma and calcifications (non-psammomatous). While most studies have found similar results, in the series by Lee et al, 4 calcifications were identified in one hepatocellular carcinoma and two gastric carcinomas metastatic to the breast.…”

“…In such cases tumoral markers (OC125, OV632 and placental alkaline phosphatase) and immunohistochemical staining can be useful to identify the site of origin of tumors with high sensitivity (0.86) and specificity (0.89) [2]. It is also interesting to note that in most reported cases multiple other sites of metastatic disease were apparent at the time of the diagnosis of breast involvement [2,4,5,10] whereas in our patient the breast was the only site of distant disease.…”

“…Ovarian metastasis from primary breast carcinoma are quite frequent, representing 3-10% of all malignancies of the ovary and 24-39% of the metastatic disease [1]. On the other hand, breast metastasis of ovarian carcinoma is extremely uncommon [2][3][4][5]. Generally the breast is not considered a common site of metastatic disease from solid tumors.…”

“…Breast and ovarian tumors can be diffi cult to pathologically distinguish due to overlapping morphology (9), and immunohistochemistry may be required to distinguish the two. Estrogen and progesterone receptor expression are inadequate markers, as these can be seen in both breast and ovarian neoplasms.…”
