Breast cancer rarely metastasizes to the intestinal tract. It is even more uncommon to find intestinal metastasis as the first sign of distant spread. We describe an atypical case of small and large bowel carcinomas arising from primary breast cancer and presenting as the first evidence of distant metastasis. Clinicians should therefore consider the possibility of gastrointestinal (GI) metastasis when patients with breast cancer present with GI symptoms.
乳腺癌很少转移至肠道。以肠道转移作为远处转移的首发征象则更为罕见。我们描述了一例非典型病例,原发性乳腺癌发生了小肠和大肠的癌转移,并作为远处转移的首个证据出现。因此,当乳腺癌患者出现胃肠道症状时,临床医生应考虑胃肠道转移的可能性。
