Durin g the courses of chemotherapy; bilateral breast nodules, and bilateral axil lary lymphadenopathies and a nodule in the vaginal cuff were identified. Th e biopsy of both breasts, axillary lymph nodes and the nodule in the vagina l cuff revealed papillary serous cystadenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemical st aining of breast specimens were positive for ovarian tumor marker CA-125.
