Abstract

— Frequently cited as a site of metastasis, the ovaries are often the site of secondary sites of breast cancer. Ovarian metastases from breast cancer are not exceptional and can be seen at any time of the disease including as the first site of metastasis; they are the clinical progression of the disease rarely the initial manifestation. Optimal surgical resection of metastatic disease, modeled on surgery for ovarian cancer, appears to favorably influence survival, regardless of complementary medical treatments. Laparoscopy remains a good indication to establish the diagnosis (biopsy) and assess the disease progression (resectability). We report to you a case of a patient operated on for breast cancer a year earlier, presenting with a metastatic adnexal mass of breast cancer
