Abstract
Breast involvement in ovarian cancer is extremely rare. We report a case of solitary breast metastasis from ovarian carcinoma in a 43-year-old white w oman, 3 months following diagnosis of ovarian cancer. The diagnostic, thera peutic and prognostic aspects as well as a review of the literature of this uncommon site of metastasis are discussed. Copyright (C) 2001 S. Karger AG , Basel.
