Abstract
The breast is an uncommon site for metastasis from epithelial ovarian cancer. Such lesions are purportedly secondary to blood-borne metastases. The accurate classification of ovarian epithelial neoplasms is the cornerstone of decisions regarding therapy and prognosis. Taylor, in 1929, reported a hyperplastic variety of papillary cystadenoma which, on occasion, produced multiple implants on the peritoneum but usually behaved in a benign fashion. The International Federation of Gynecologists and Obstetricians adopted a classification of benign cystadenomas, cystadenocarcinomas of low malignant potential (LMP), and cystadenocarcinomas. The serous tumors of LMP rarely metastasize outside of the abdominopelvic cavity. This case, of a serous tumor of LMP with breast metastasis, permits an analysis of metastatic breast lesions secondary to epithelial ovarian cancer.
