Gastric metastases from breast cancer: a case report.
We describe a case of a 50 year old woman with a secondary involvement of the stomach from breast carcinoma. She complained of nausea, vomiting and epigastric pain resistant to gastroprotective drugs. Initially symptoms were attributed to the side effects of chemotherapeutic agents. Correct diagnosis led to effective treatment of gastrointestinal symptoms with consequent improvement in her quality of life.
