Case report: Diagnostic trap: a extremely rare metastatic myoepithelial carcinoma of breast

Primary MECA in the mammary gland is exceedingly rare, metastasis from the salivary gland MECA to the mammary gland is even rarer and has not been previously reported. This study presents the first documented case of MECA originating from the parotid gland metastasizing to the mammary gland (also known as breast). Highlighting this case aims to raise awareness among clinical pathologists to prevent underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis of this tumor entity.

Abstract

Primary MECA in the mammary gland is exceedingly rare, metastasis from the salivary gland MECA to the mammary gland is even rarer and has not been previously reported. This study presents the first documented case of MECA originating from the parotid gland metastasizing to the mammary gland (also known as breast). Highlighting this case aims to raise awareness among clinical pathologists to prevent underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis of this tumor entity.
