RESUMEN
Small cell carcinoma of the ovary is rare and occurs primarily in young women. It has a very poorprognosis-the results of chemotheraphy and rediotherapy have been generally disappointing and early recurrence ordistant metastasis is common. Metastasis to the breast is very rare; such tomors account for about 1% of totalbreast malignancies. We describe the case of a 37-year-old-woman with muiltiple metastases to both breasts fromleft ovarian small cell carcinoma : the radiologic findings are also included. On pelvic ultrasonography and MRimaging, small cell carcinoma of the ovary was seen as a lobulationg mass lesion admixed with cystic and solidcomponents, and present in the pelvic cavity. Two months later, mammography and ultrasonography revealedrelatively well marginated multiple solid mass lesions in both breasts.

We encountered a patient with a breast mass which had metastasized from gastric carcinoma representing as aninflammatory carcinoma on ultrasonography. We described the radiologic and clinical features, and review theliterature. The patient had advanced gastric carcinoma and breast ultrasonography demonstrated the presence ofvery ill-defined, infiltrating, and mixed echoic lesions indistinguishable from findings of primary inflammatorybreast carcinoma. Metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma was confirmed pathologically.
