Solitary breast metastasis as first manifestation of ovarian carcinoid tumor

A Fishman et al. Gynecol Oncol. 1994 Aug.

Abstract

Carcinoid tumor metastatic to the breast is very uncommon. The rarity of this finding may be the reason for its common misinterpretation as primary breast carcinoma. A patient with primary ovarian carcinoid that presented initially with a solitary breast mass is reported. A review of the literature discloses only 12 reported cases of carcinoid tumor metastatic to the breast, with none of the primaries found to be the ovary.
