We report a case of mullerian "inclusions" within an intra-mammary lymph node. Discovered on a routine mammography, the inclusions appeared in the right breast as a focus of microcalcifications. The 63-year-old patient was asymptomatic. Microcalcifications were associated with benign appearing epithelial formations which were positive for estrogen receptor antibodies and negative for thyroglobulin, calretinin and smooth muscle actin antibodies. Three years later, the patient developed a peritoneal low-grade serous carcinoma. Mullerian inclusions within lymph nodes are rather frequent below the diaphragm but exceptional above. Even in a supra-diaphragmatic localization, they can be associated with a pelvic serous tumor.
