    Breast cancer commonly metastasizes to the stomach, presenting as linitis plastica. This appearance on upper gastrointestinal exams aids differential diagnosis from primary stomach cancer.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Gastric metastases are a known complication of advanced breast cancer.
    • Linitis plastica is the most frequent presentation of gastric metastases from breast carcinoma.

    Observation:

    • Upper gastrointestinal examination with barium contrast reveals a characteristic appearance.
    • This imaging finding aids in differentiating metastatic breast cancer from primary gastric linitis plastica.

    Findings:

    • Metastatic breast carcinoma causing linitis plastica involves transmural infiltration of the stomach wall.
    • Tumor cells initially deposit in the submucosal or subserosal layers.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of gastric metastases is crucial for patient management.
