De Novo Metastatic Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer with Synchronous Gastric and Colonic Spread: a case report (original) (raw)

Abstract

Gastrointestinal metastasis from invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC) is relatively rare. Simultaneous gastric and colonic metastases are extremely rare. Its presentation is typically vague; therefore, early recognition using clinical, radiological, endoscopic and histopathologic investigations is critical to distinguish it from primary gastric carcinoma. We report a 62-year-old woman who presented initially with atypical gastrointestinal symptoms and was diagnosed with de novo metastatic ILC with synchronous gastric and colonic involvement. She had excellent clinical response after 4 weeks of medical treatment. To our best knowledge, this is the first case of synchronous spread to stomach and colon as the first presentation of de novo metastatic breast cancer.
