Endometrial and cervical metastases leading to the diagnosis of a primary breast cancer: A case report

Abstract

Breast cancer can metastasise to a vast array of organs, but in rare cases, cancer can form secondary lesions in the uterus and cervix. In our case report we have a 56-years-old female with gynecologic bleeding, bloating, and difficulty in breathing, fatigue, weakness and polyuria. After performing of dilatation and curettage, the result was endometrial and cervical metastases which show histopathological and immunohistochemical findings suggesting invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast that leads to primary breast cancer. Her status estimated the treatment. This case demonstrates the importance of adequate clinical behaviour and treatment of each of the gynaecological symptoms for establishing a cause of extragynecological origin, clarifying the patient's overall status. It is essential to have proper and timely clinical behaviour for menopausal patients in gynaecological diseases, as the primary cause may be of extragenital origin.KEYWORDS invasive lobular breast cancer, endometrial metastases, cervical metastases, extragynecological origin HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLEChupryna E, Ganovska A, Kirilova I, Kovachev S, Baytchev G.
