متن کاملIntramammary lymph node metastasis in a patient with ovarian carcinoma and a brief review of the literature

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...
