Invasive lobular carcinoma of presumably breast origin presenting as retroperitoneal fibrosis with urinary tract obstruction and metastatic infiltration of abdominal viscera
Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) represents 10% of all invasive breast cancers and is the 2nd most common breast cancer after invasive ductal carcinoma. As well as spread to lymph nodes, lung and liver, ILC frequently metastasizes to the gastrointestinal tract, peritoneum, retroperitoneum and gynaecological organs.
