Imaging Diagnosis of Metastases to Breast: A Rare Presentation of Carcinoma Gallbladder
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 11
Abstract
Breast metastases are extremely rare with a reported incidence of only 0.5-6.6% of all breast malignancies. We report a case of bilateral breast metastases in a 45-year-old lady who presented with an ulcero-proliferative epigastric mass. Imaging features suggested a diagnosis of carcinoma gallbladder as the primary aetiology. The diagnosis was proven by biopsy from the epigastric mass lesion. It is extremely rare to find breast metastases from carcinoma gall bladder and very few similar cases have been reported in the literature.
