Invasive Lobular Carcinoma of the Breast With Rectal Metastasis: A Rare Case Report.

The rectum is a relatively unusual site for metastasis from invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) of the breast, and it carries dangers such as perforation and blockage. We reported a case of a 47-year-old female patient complaining of breast ILC for one year. Recently, the patient complained of abdominal distention, mild generalized abdominal pain, and weight loss. The abdominal ultrasound (US) showed moderate ascites without hepatomegaly, and ascitic tapping was positive for malignant cells. Lower colonoscopy showed a congested mass of 8 cm, and anal verge biopsy showed colonic mucosa laminal propria infiltrated with atypical cells and adenocarcinoma metastatic from the breast. In a patient with breast cancer, particularly ILC, who has developed new gastrointestinal tract (GIT) symptoms, there is significantly a high chance of rectal metastatic illness. Early detection is critical for successful treatment.
