چکیده

Breast cancer continues to be the most common tumor in women. Of these cases, 5 to 15% are composed of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), which has an increasing incidence in postmenopausal women (1). Borst et al. (2) compared the metastatic patterns of ILC versus infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC) and found that ILC is significantly more likely to metastasize to the gastrointestinal tract, gynecologic organs, peritoneal surface, and retroperitoneum. Gallbladder metastases of ILC are extremely rare, and fewer than 20 case reports have been published to date (3). In this report, we present a case of early recurrence of breast cancer presenting as a gallbladder metastatic lesion.
