A Case Series of Breast Metastases from Different Extramammary Malignancies and Their Literature Review

Figure 12

Case 12. 42-year-old woman with carcinoma of the tongue. One year after diagnosis, the patient presented with a palpable mass in the right breast. On mammography, an irregular, isodense mass was noted in the breast tail (a–b). An oval mass with circumscribed margins and a heterogeneous echo pattern was seen on ultrasound. The lesion also showed posterior acoustic enhancement (c–e), while color Doppler images demonstrated peripheral vascularity (d). HE staining and immunohistochemistry analysis of the metastases. HE staining revealed the malignant cells in the breast tumor (f), and the immunohistochemistry analysis indicated that the cells were positive for P63 (g).
