Breast cancer is considered one of the most common cancers worldwide. The most common sites for breast cancer to metastasize are the lymph nodes, bones, lungs, brain, and liver. Involvement of the gastrointestinal tract is uncommon, and metastasis to the appendix is rare. We report a case involving a 43-year-old woman with no previous history of malignancy who presented with acute appendicitis and underwent laparoscopic appendectomy, with the final histopathological assessment revealing metastatic breast cancer.
乳腺癌被认为是全球最常见的癌症之一。乳腺癌最常见的转移部位是淋巴结、骨骼、肺部、大脑和肝脏。胃肠道受累并不常见,转移至阑尾则极为罕见。我们报告一例病例,患者为一名43岁女性,既往无恶性肿瘤病史,因急性阑尾炎就诊并接受了腹腔镜阑尾切除术,最终组织病理学评估显示为转移性乳腺癌。
