title: Lobular breast cancer metastasis to the colon, the appendix and the gallbladder.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Metastases of lobular breast cancer are commonly encountered at the level of lungs, bones, brain and liver, whereas lesions in the gastrointestinal tract are rarely seen.
  
  
  METHODS
  A case of a patient with metastases in the right colon and gallbladder originating from an invasive lobular carcinoma is described.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Adequate diagnostic procedures should be performed in patients with a history of breast cancer and who show gastrointestinal symptoms to rule out the potential presence of gastrointestinal metastases.
