Abstract
We recently experienced two patients with gastric metastasis from breast carcinoma.<br> Patients 1; a 45-year-old woman, who had a history of undergoing radical mastectomy for left breast cancer 3 years before, was seen at the hospital because of massive ascites. We found a submucosal tumor-like lesion in her stomach by an endoscopy. The pathologic findings of the biopsy specimens were compatible with gastric metastasis of invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast. Although chemotherapy was given, the patient died 5 years after the first operation. Patients, 2; a 58-year-old woman, was considered having gastric metastasis of invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast. The patient died of liver dysfunction 6 months after the radical mastectomy. We should pay careful attention to possible occurrence of metastatic involvement of the gastrointestinal tract in patients with advanced breast cancer or those having previous history of breast cancer.
