Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosed among women worldwide. It significantly contributes to cancer-related mortality in females. Early-stage breast cancers have a high cure rate. However, distant metastasis of breast cancer due to haematological and lymphatic spread often leads to a poor prognosis. Gastric and duodenal metastasises are rarely observed in invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast. Early diagnosis is challenging due to the non-specific symptoms, the limited specificity of radiological investigations and the difficulty in obtaining adequate tissue biopsy. Herein, we report the clinical, radiological, and macroscopic features of a 72-year-old female with rare gastric metastasis of breast cancer and likely concurrent duodenal metastasis.
