Invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast and bilateral ovarian mature cystic teratoma with benign Brenner tumor in a postmenopausal woman – An uncommon occurrence
The synchronous occurrence of bilateral ovarian tumors and breast malignancy often raise the suspicion of a Krukenberg tumor or a hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, both of which are uncommon in clinical practice. A 58-years-old postmenopausal woman had a right breast lump and was diagno...

| description | The synchronous occurrence of bilateral ovarian tumors and breast malignancy often raise the suspicion of a Krukenberg tumor or a hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, both of which are uncommon in clinical practice. A 58-years-old postmenopausal woman had a right breast lump and was diagnosed as infiltrating duct carcinoma, no special type, and incidentally detected bilateral adnexal mass with the clinical suspicion of Krukenberg tumor. However, following the radical surgical excision of the right breast and bilateral ovaries, the right breast showed invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) while the ovaries showed mature cystic teratoma (MCT) with benign Brenner tumor. IMPC of the breast along with bilateral ovarian MCT with benign Brenner tumor is an unusual clinical occurrence in a postmenopausal female and thus worthy of documentation. It should be categorized as a non-hereditary synchronous tumor. The histomorphology augmented by immunohistochemistry and appropriate clinical context is pivotal in rendering a correct diagnosis. |
