She underwent hysteroscopy with biopsy. Microscopic examination revealed an endometrial polyp with foci of adenocarcinoma. The morphological features of the tumor matched those of the original breast carcinoma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Neoplasms originating from extra-genital sites frequently spread to the female genital organs. However, these metastases are mainly concentrated in the ovaries and vagina, while those affecting the uterus are rare. Among non-genital malignant tumors, mammary carcinoma - particularly the lobular type - is the most common to affect the uterus, followed by digestive and pulmonary tumors. Metastases within an endometrial polyp are particularly unusual.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>It is crucial to consider metastatic tumors when assessing vaginal bleeding in patients with breast carcinoma.
