Metastatic breast carcinoma involving the gastric antrum and duodenum: computed tomography appearances.
We describe the computed tomography (CT) appearances of three cases of antroduodenal linitis plastica metastases from breast carcinoma. Two of the three cases had biliary obstruction as a consequence and required endoscopic stenting. Antroduodenal linitis plastica should be considered as a possible cause for jaundice in patients with breast carcinoma.
