Metastatic ovarian cancer to the breast is a rare presentation, with limited cases reported worldwide. Common sites for distant metastasis in ovarian cancer are to the liver, lung, and pleura [Dauplat et al. Cancer. 1987 Oct 1;60(7):1561–6]. Usually, such cases predict poor prognosis with troublesome management. We present one challenging case of a 54-year-old female patient with recurrent clear cell ovarian cancer, presenting with right breast mass of primary versus secondary origin, progressing into inflammatory breast cancer picture. Our report aims to shed light on the value of early suspicion and low threshold of detecting secondary breast masses of ovarian cancer origin.

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare type of breast cancer that is associated with poor outcomes compared with non-IBC. Overexpression of HER2 is enriched in IBC, and those with HER2-positive disease have a relatively favorable prognosis, with improved survival over the last two decades driven by the advent of novel targeted therapies. Here, we present two patients who have survived for over 10 years after being diagnosed with de novo metastatic HER2-positive IBC. We review the data for the treatments available for metastatic HER2-positive IBC and the evolving treatment recommendations for this disease.

Adenoma or florid papillomatosis of the nipple (FPN) is a rare benign disease which has histopathological features similar to those of a mammary papillary carcinoma. Here, we report a rare case of bilateral florid papillomatosis of the nipple and breast cancer, with a literature review.
