Breast cancers without previous dissemination occasionally result in hematogenous metastases in gynecologic organs, particularly in the cervix. This case report examines a multimodally treated lobular breast cancer patient who was 52 months later diagnosed with malignancy in the uterus. After a tumor was detected at the endocervical and isthmic part of the uterus, a complete hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was carried out. The malignant cells were highly positive for carcino-embrional antigen and gross cystic disease fluid protein-15, sensitive breast cancer markers. In conclusion, as breast carcinoma can metastasize to atypical places (cervix, endometrium, etc.), regular surveillance of patients should include gynecologic control.
