Abstract

ABSTRACT: Metastatic breast cancer can spread to the bone, brain, liver and lung. However, metastasis to the stomach is rare. Gastric metastasis mostly presents within 10 years from the diagnosis of the primary breast cancer. We present a rare case of gastric metastasis occurring 20 years after mastectomy, diagnosed through immunohistochemistry.
