Abstract
|
|
|
|
Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women and the main leading cause of cancer death. Breast cancer frequently metastasizes to the bones, lungs, and liver; however, gastrointestinal involvement is rare. The most frequent sites of the GI tract involved are the stomach and the small intestine, while colonic metastasis is extremely rare with the presentation being nonspecific. Early diagnosis is important for proper treatment. We present a case of metastatic breast cancer to the small and large bowel.
