Anorectal Metastasis from Breast Carcinoma: A case report with literature review

Abstract

Gastrointestinal metastases from breast cancers usually derive from invasive lobular carcinomas. This is a case report of an anorectal metastasis, which presented as a digitally palpable anorectal mass, originating from an invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. A vigorous diagnostic approach prior to planning treatment permits prolonged survival without surgical intervention if the proper diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer can be made.
