Here, we report a case of a 42-year-old female patient with left lobular breast cancer-gastric metastasis (initially misdiagnosed five years ago as an invasive ductal carcinoma) presenting with dyspepsia, weight loss, and persistent vomiting lasting for four weeks. Upper GI endoscopy revealed evidence of linitis plastica, and histological and immunocytochemical analyses of the biopsy confirmed gastric metastasis secondary to invasive lobular breast carcinoma.

Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer is characterized by an increased risk of diffuse gastric cancer and lobular breast cancer, and is caused by pathogenic germline variants of E-cadherin and -E-catenin, which are key regulators of cell-cell adhesion. However, how the loss of cell-cell adhesion promotes cell dissemination remains to be fully understood. Therefore, a three-dimensional computer model was developed to describe the initial steps of diffuse gastric cancer development.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical value of Clinical Treatment Score Post-5 Years (CTS5) to predict the survival benefits of postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) of patients with T1-2N1 luminal breast cancer (BC).
Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with T1-2N1 luminal BC between 2010 and 2015 were included in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. The chi-square test, binomial logistic regression, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and multivariable Cox proportional hazard model were used for statistical analyses.

Malignant breast tumors mainly arise from the ductal and lobular epithelium, whereas sarcomas, which originate from the stromal tissues of the breast, account for less than 5% of cases. Mostly, these tumors consist of a single tissue type, rendering malignant breast tumors with three distinct tissue types exceedingly rare. We report a unique case of a malignant breast tumor comprising three tissue types: squamous cell carcinoma (approximately 25%), invasive ductal carcinoma (approximately 5%), and fibrosarcoma (approximately 70%).

Invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast is the most common special type breast cancer. It has been defined using morphological features, has a characteristic immunophenotype associated with the loss of E-cadherin mediated intercellular adhesion, and the background of this immunohistochemistry and morphology is generally a biallelic genetic alteration of the CDH-1 gene coding E-cadherin. However, the morphology may often deviate from the classical, and immunohistochemistry may also deviate from the typical, and then the diagnosis of invasive lobular carcinoma becomes less straight forward.

Background: The Dutch breast cancer guideline recommends surveillance for classic lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), unless there is a discrepancy with mammographic findings, and surgery for pleomorphic and non-classic LCIS.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess adherence to the guideline in daily practice, as well as the surgery rate, risk of upstaging, and events during follow-up.
Methods: Selection of patients from a nationwide cohort diagnosed between 2011 and 2020.
