EXTRAMAMMARY MALIGNANCY PRESENTING AS PRIMARY BREAST LESION - AN INTERESTING CASE REPORT.
Abstract
Primary breast cancers are the most
common malignancies in clinical practice
and literature. Breasts are also sites of
secondary carcinomatous deposits but
rare as presenting symptom of extramammary
malignancy. We present a
case of signet ring cell gastric cancer
presenting as breast lesion in a
premenopausal female where metastatic
evaluation revealed the primary gastric
lesion and systemic metastases.
