Abstract

Although rare, breast metastases can mimic primary tumors, both clinically, radiologically, and histopathologically. Melanoma is a highly metastasizing tumor, and it is known as a great mimicker of tumors. Metastatic melanoma in the breast can mimic primary breast cancer and pose a diagnostic challenge. In most cases, it is associated with disseminated disease and a poor prognosis, therefore, histologic, immunohistochemical and clinical correlation is crucial in diagnosing these cases. In this case report, we discuss a 63-year-old female who presented with clinical features of probable breast cancer, describe immunohistochemistry workup, and discuss pitfalls in interpretation.

乳房黑色素瘤:诊断难题。
乳腺转移瘤虽然罕见,但在临床、放射学和组织病理学上都可以模仿原发肿瘤。黑色素瘤是一种转移性很强的肿瘤,被称为肿瘤的 "模仿者"。乳房转移性黑色素瘤可与原发性乳腺癌相似,给诊断带来挑战。在大多数病例中,它伴有播散性疾病,预后较差,因此,组织学、免疫组化和临床相关性是诊断这些病例的关键。在本病例报告中,我们讨论了一名 63 岁女性疑似乳腺癌的临床特征,介绍了免疫组化工作,并讨论了解读中的误区。

YJBM is published quarterly and aims to publish articles of interest to both physicians and scientists. YJBM is and has been an internationally distributed journal with a long history of landmark articles.

Suitable manuscripts are then subject to rigorous, fair, and rapid peer review.
