Abstract
We present an unusual case of extensive placental micrometastases of r ecurrent breast carcinoma. The discrepancy between the gross and histo pathologic findings in this case suggests that in the absence of gross metastases, meticulous microscopic examination may reveal a higher in cidence of metastases than has been reported previously.
