title: Metastatic breast carcinoma of the gallbladder.
abstract: Metastasis of breast carcinoma to the gallbladder, not hitherto reported, occurred in a 73-year-old woman who had acute cholecystitis. After cholecystectomy was performed, pathologic examination of the specimen demonstrated tumor morphologically identical to the breast carcinoma for which the patient had undergone right mastectomy 3 years earlier.
