- Abstract
- Metastatic cancer from breast cancer is not uncommon and it often involves multiple organs.
Gastric metastasis from breast cancer is much rarer than lung, bone and lymph node metastasis.
Most of the symptoms are nonspecific, so it is not easy to differentiate primary gastric cancer from
gastric metastasis from the breast. In particular, gastric and breast cancers are the two most
common cancers among Korean women, so efforts should be made to distinguish primary gastric
cancer from gastric metastasis because treatment and prognosis are very different between two. A
few cases have been reported in Korea concerning gastric metastasis from breast cancer. We report
here a case of gastric metastasis from infiltrating duct carcinoma of the breast.(Korean J Med
