Isolated duodenal metastasis from breast carcinoma.
Small bowel neoplasms comprise 0.1% of all malignancies. Of these one-third are duodenal, mainly primary. Isolated duodenal secondaries arising on account of haematogenous spread is rare. Our case of duodenal obstruction due to an isolated duodenal metastasis as a result of haematogenous spread from breast carcinoma is unique in the literature.
