Background. Breast carcinoma is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. It is most commonly associated with metastases to the liver, lung, bone, and the brain. Invasive lobular carcinoma is a less common pathology with slightly higher metastases to the upper gastrointestinal tract. Invasive lobular carcinoma metastasis to the gallbladder is extremely rare. Method. In this paper we are presenting a case of a 67-year-old female with metastases of invasive lobular breast cancer to the gallbladder six years after her therapy. Conclusion. This case clearly signifies the nature of the micrometastatic foci of the invasive lobular carcinoma even many years after a successful treatment.
背景。乳腺癌是全球女性中最常见的恶性肿瘤。它最常与转移至肝脏、肺、骨和脑相关。浸润性小叶癌是一种较不常见的病理类型,转移至上消化道的情况略多。浸润性小叶癌转移至胆囊极为罕见。方法。本文报告一例67岁女性,在接受治疗六年后发生浸润性小叶乳腺癌转移至胆囊。结论。该病例清楚地表明,即使在成功治疗多年后,浸润性小叶癌微转移灶的性质依然存在。
