Li Li, Qingfeng Wang, Fumei Li and Minglei Zou

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and the main cause of cancer death in China. Breast cancer metastatic to the gastrointestinal tract is rare. The metastatic patterns of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) have been shown to differ considerably. Liver, lung and brain metastases are more common in IDC. Here We present a 60-year old woman who was diagnosed with metastatic carcinoma of the stomach.
