Ileal metastasis from phyllodes breast tumor

We present the case of a 72-year-old woman with a history of right radical mastectomy due to the Phyllodes Tumor. Two months later, she went to the emergency room for intestinal occlusion. Analytically, she had anemia and thrombocytopenia. The abdominal tomography noticed signs of occlusion of the small bowell and injury of 5cm at the pericaecal level. Urgent exploratory laparotomy was performed and objectified distal ileum attached to the cecum with signs of irreversible ischemia, so an ileocaecal resection was performed with ileo-colonic anastomosis. In the postoperative period she presented paralytic ileus and paraneoplastic syndrome with bicytopenia refractory to corticosteroid treatment. To rule out abdominal complications, abdominal tomography was performed on the 5th day post-op that confirmed the integrity of the anastomosis and absence of signs of mechanical occlusion. The patient's evolution was unfavorable, went on to exitus on the 14th day. The anatomopathological study diagnosed metastasis of malignant Phyllodes Tumor at the ileal level.
