METASTATIC INVOLVEMENT OF THE STOMACH SECONDARY TO BREAST CARCINOMA

Abstract
Apart from metastatic melanoma, involvement of the stomach by blood-borne metastatic malignancy is relatively rare. Of the primary malignant neoplasms of epithelial origin, carcinoma of the breast is probably the commonest source of such gastric metastases. The present paper is essentially concerned with a description of the roentgenologic manifestations of gastric metastases secondary to breast carcinoma. The clinical and pathologic features of this entity are also briefly discussed.
