Traumatic sigmoid colon rupture due to breast cancer metastasis: a case report
Clin J Gastroenterol. 2023 Sep 21. doi: 10.1007/s12328-023-01859-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe metastasis of breast cancer to the gastrointestinal tract is rare. Herein, we presented the case of an 85-year-old woman who had a history of invasive lobular carcinoma and experienced complete colon rupture due to relatively low-energy trauma. The patient underwent bilateral total mastectomy and axillary dissection following preoperative chemotherapy 6 years ago. She had a local recurrence 2 years after the surgery and underwent chemotherapy. Subsequently, the cancer metastasized to the thoracolumbar area and retroperiton...

Self-reported barriers to screening breast MRI among women at high risk for breast cancer
ConclusionsHigh-risk women reported low uptake of screening breast MRI, indicating a gap in guideline-concordant care. Breast cancer knowledge and screening-supportive social norms are two key areas to target in future interventions. Data were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic and generalizability of results is unclear. Future studies with larger, more heterogeneous samples are needed to replicate these findings.

Gastric Metastasis from Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer, Resembling Primary Gastric Cancer
This report presents a case of breast ILC for which the initial presentation was gastric metastasis. A 62-y-old woman presented with gastric outlet obstruction secondary to a gastric mass that had been diagnosed on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and biopsy. The patient had been referred for 18F-FDG PET/CT for staging. The baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT scan demonstrated extensive axillary nodal and gastric metastases with a breast mass, which raised suspicion of a primary breast carcinoma. Distinguishing primary gastric adenocarcinoma from metastatic breast ILC is essential, considering that the 2 diagnoses lead to divergent tr...
