| Popis: | Invasive lobular breast carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common breast cancer. ILC has a wide range of imaging appearances. The pattern of metastatic spread differs significantly between ILC and ductal carcinoma. Metastases to the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary system and peritoneum/retroperitoneum are more prevalent with ILC than with ductal carcinoma. We describe the case of a 50-year-old woman with ILC, detailing her metastatic manifestations and the imaging limitations we encountered in demonstrating these metastases. Clinicians evaluating patients with ILC presenting with gastrointestinal or genitourinary symptoms should have a high index of suspicion of metastasis. |
