Rectal metastasis from lobular carcinoma of the breast: a case report.
Rectal metastases from breast carcinomas are very rare. They often occur in lobular invasive breast carcinoma (ILC), usually after a long disease-free period. It is important to be aware of these unusual metastatic patterns of ILC of the breast because of the possibility of systemic therapy. We present a case of 83-year old woman with rectal metastesis from ILC seven years after surgery of primary tumor.
