Common Malignancy

True metastatic involvement of the colon is rare. Colonic metastases occur most commonly secondary to peritoneal metastases from intra-abdominal malignancies. Breast cancer is the most common malignancy that metastasizes hematogenously to the colon. Colonic metastatic disease mimics primary colonic tumors in its presentation. Colonic metastatic involvement is a poor prognostic sign, and the pathologist should be informed about the history of the primary breast cancer when examining the pathologic specimens. In this paper, we report a case of an ileocecal mass found to be histologically consistent with metastatic ductal breast cancer, and then we review the literature about breast cancer metastases to the gastrointestinal tract in general and colon in particular.

Cutaneous metastasis from breast cancer has varied clinical presentations. Herein, we present the case of a middle-aged female with a large erythematous patch and an itchy bluish-red papular eruption on the left side of the breast. The patient had a history of ductal breast carcinoma at age 40. Histology from one of the red papules revealed an atrophic epidermis and emboli of carcinomatous cells in the dermal and subcutaneous blood vessels. The morphology of the tumor cells was similar to that of the primary ductal carcinoma of the breast. The diagnosis of telangiectatic metastatic breast cancer was reached.

Common Malignancy

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women throughout the world. Metastatic dissemination to vital organs is the leading cause of breast cancer-related deaths. The treatment of metastases is mainly based on the primary tumor characteristics. However, breast cancer metastases exhibit high heterogeneity leading to different prognosis and therapeutic responses. Getting access to phenotype of metastases would allow better management of patients. The advent of theranostics in nuclear medicine has opened new opportunities for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of current knowledge and future directions in nuclear medicine for therapeutic management of metastatic breast cancer patients.

Cases in in situ and infiltrating lobular carcinoma of the breast reported in the Third National Cancer Survey were reviewed according to age, sex, race, and geographic distribution. The age-specific incidence rates indicate that there are two peak age periods of risk for invasive lobular carcinoma, the first occurring in ages 40-50 years and the second after age 65. The incidence rates for lobular carcinoma were compared to the incidence rates for intraductal and infiltrating ductal carcinoma reported from the Third National Cancer Survey and for total breast cancer from the Miyagi prefecture in Japan. These comparisons indicate that factors which influence the geographic variation in breast cancer play important roles in the etiology of infiltrating ductal carcinoma, but may have little effect upon the incidence of lobular carcinoma and intraductal carcinoma. The limitations of large histological epidemiological surveys are discussed.

Lobular Histology

Intraluminal gastric and colonic metastases of the breast cancer are very rare and may sometimes prove a  diagnostic dilemma to distinguish from primary gastric and colonic cancers. It is important to make the distinction in order to navigate the proper treatment approach, which is a systemic treatment rather than surgery if the disease is me- tastatic. The spread to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is more frequent in lobular histology and according to a number of investigators, it is related to a particular tropism of lobular cells toward gastrointestinal mucosa. Any region of GI tract may be involved, from the tongue to the anus. Over the last decade, among the 1,100 breast cancer cases registered at our institutions, we diagnosed four patients with breast cancer who had metastases to the stomach and/or colon and presented symptoms that simulated primary gastrointestinal cancer. A total of 84 out of the 1,100 patients experienced invasive lobular histology. Among the four patients with GI tract metastases, three were diagnosed with lobular hist- ology – two of whom had the signet ring cell subtype. The remaining patient was diagnosed with triple negative invasive ductal carcinoma; however, it clinically resembled invasive lobular carcinoma. Clinical and pathological features of these cases, as well as the review of related literature are discussed in this report.

Primary Presentation

Breast cancer rarely metastasises to the gastrointestinal tract. Lobular carcinoma more commonly metastasises to the uterus and appendages, peritoneum, and gastrointestinal tract than other types of breast cancer, while ductal carcinoma has a propensity to metastasise to the lungs, liver, and brain. We describe the case of a patient with no known history of breast cancer, whose primary presentation of lobular breast cancer was with malignant small intestinal and colonic strictures, with coexisting previously undiagnosed adenocarcinoma of the colon.

We report a case of a patient with recurrent infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast encasing a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. We also review the current literature regarding reports of breast malignancy around a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, as well as the potential relevance of such shunts to the preoperative evaluation and management of patients with breast cancer.
