Excerpt

The common sites of breast cancer metastasis include the lungs, liver, bones, soft tissue, brain, and adrenal glands. Metastasis of breast cancer to the gastrointestinal tract (MBGI) is considered rare in clinical practice [1]; however, the occurrence in autopsy series varies from 4 to 35% [2, 3]. Most series report a greater propensity for lobular carcinoma to metastasize to the GI tract [4]. In addition, the majority of MBGI is positive for hormonal receptors (80%) [5]. …
