متن کاملIntramammary lymph node metastasis in a patient with ovarian carcinoma and a brief review of the literature
Metastasis from serous carcinoma of the ovary usually occurs in the subdiaphragmatic region. Metastasis to the breast and/or axillary-intramammary lymph node is very rare. It usually occurs in advanced disease, and it is important to distinguish a primary breast cancer from an ovarian cancer metastasis since the management of these two entities is totally different. Here we present a patient wi...

متن کاملDiagnosis of a Malignant Intramammary Node Retrospectively Aided by Mastectomy Specimen MRI-Is the Search Worth It? A Case Report and Review of Current Literature
Metastases to intramammary nodes have been shown to be an independent predictor of poor outcome in patients with breast cancer, such as axillary lymph node metastases. The detection and accurate characterization of these nodes preoperatively is thus crucial for the staging and planning of treatment for breast carcinoma, particularly in cases with axillary lymph node negative disease as it upgra...
