Metastasis to Breast From Carcinoma Gallbladder: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the commonest malignancy among biliary tract cancers. Locoregional spread in GBC is more common than distant metastasis. The liver and abdominal lymph nodes is the most common site of distant metastasis. Breast metastasis is a rare site of dissemination. GBC is an aggress...

description Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the commonest malignancy among biliary tract cancers. Locoregional spread in GBC is more common than distant metastasis. The liver and abdominal lymph nodes is the most common site of distant metastasis. Breast metastasis is a rare site of dissemination. GBC is an aggressive tumor and carries a poor prognosis, with a five-year survival rate of less than 10%. Metastasis to the breast from a gallbladder is significantly less and accounts for very few cases. Here, we are reporting a rare case of carcinoma gallbladder metastasis to the breast who survived for 38 months from the diagnosis of GBC and around 25 months after breast metastasis.
