Gastric metastases from breast cancer: A report of two cases and review of literature

Though breast cancer is a common cancer it rarely metastasizes to stomach. Lobular carcinoma is the most common histological type which presents with gastric metastases. The most common presentation is linitis plastica. Here, we would like to report two cases of invasive ductal breast cancer who presented with gastric metastases. One case presented as linitis plastica and the other as nodular growth. Both were given palliative chemotherapy and both responded partially. One patient was succumbed to death in 6 months and the other patient is surviving 7 months after diagnosis of gastric metastases. In conclusion, gastric metastases from breast cancer are rare and are associated with poor prognosis. We would like to add these cases to the literature due to its rarity.
