Pyloric Metastases from Primary Breast Cancer- A Case Report and Literature Review
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
One in eight women is affected by breast cancer during their life time. The typical metastatic sites from a primary breast cancer are lung, bone, liver and brain. Breast cancer metastases to the bowel are rare. However, it is important to recognize patients who have been affected by breast cancer in the past, and now present with gastroenterological symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bleeding or diarrhoea. A delay in reaching the proper diagnosis may result in inappropriate management or late treatment. This paper reports a case of breast cancer metastases to the pylorus and reviews relevant literature surrounding this topic.
