CASE REPORT:
A 58-year-old female patient was admitted to a gynecological surgery unit from a gynecological chemotherapy unit because of right lower limb (RLL) vein thrombosis. In 2019, the patient was diagnosed with high grade serous ovarian cancer in both ovaries with dissemination in the peritoneal cavity. For prior patient treatment see Supplemental Table S1 in supplementary online material. During hospitalization the patient reported a major breast enlargement occurring within a few days and mentioned a breast injury occurring a month earlier. The left breast (LB) was enlarged, and the skin was flushed and warm; during physical examination a hard formation (5–6 cm) was found (Fig. 1, 2). Ultrasound performed by gyne-senologist revealed right breast (RB) cyst, BIRADS-2, and suspected lesion in LB, BIRADS-4c (Fig. 3). For Mammogram and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examination results see Table 1. Core-needle biopsy was performed. The histopathology examination confirmed ovarian cancer to breast metastasis (Fig. 4). Two days after the biopsy, the patient began developing dyspnoea at rest with desaturation. Symptomatic treatment became ineffective.
