Abstract
We present an unusual case of extensive placental micrometastases of recurrent breast carcinoma. The discrepancy between the gross and histopathologic findings in this case suggests that in the absence of gross metastases, meticulous microscopic examination may reveal a higher incidence of metastases than has been reported previously.
