MRI findings of gastric metastases from breast carcinoma.
We describe the MR appearance of breast cancer metastases to the stomach. The stomach wall was diffusely thickened with loss of the regular fold pattern best shown on the single shot T2-weighted images and enhanced with moderate mural enhancement on early and late post gadolinium images. The combination of gastric wall thickening and abnormal enhancement should suggest the diagnosis of diffuse mural metastases in a woman with a history of breast cancer.
