摘要：
The differentiation between primary gastric cancer and a metastatic breast tumor to the stomach is important for planning of treatment and to spare the patient unnecessary surgery. We report a rare case of breast cancer with metastasis to the stomach. The diagnosis was established by histologic and immuno-histochemical analyses of biopsies of the stomach lesion using gross cystic disease fluid protein-15, cytokeratin, carcinoembryonic antigen, and epithelial membrane antigen. Positivity for gross cystic disease fluid protein-15 with negative staining for carcinoembryonic antigen supported the diagnosis of a breast cancer metastasis. The patient was treated with systemic chemotherapy without surgery and is still alive 2 years after initial referral for a gastric neoplasm.
