Abstract 70: Metastatic versus primary: Genomic analysis suggests a metastatic origin for breast cancer previously diagnosed as metachronous vulvar ectopic breast cancer
Abstract:Introduction: Accessory breast tissue is a rare finding in the general population with an incidence of 1-2%. Ectopic mammary tissue may occur anywhere along the milk line, from the axilla to the groin. Thus, breast cancer present in the vulva may arise as a primary breast adenocarcinoma or distant metastasis. Differentiating the two can be clinically challenging but is critically important as it impacts prognosis and treatment. Using genomic and bioinformatic approaches, we re-evaluated a previously histopatho… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
