A rare clinical presentation JF Saudi Medical Journal JO Saudi Med J FD Prince Sultan Military Medical City SP 1128 OP 1130 VO 33 IS 10 A1 Haitham Al-Rawi A1 Mohammad Al-Jafari A1 Hitesh Mathew YR 2012 UL http://smj.org.sa/content/33/10/1128.abstract AB We report a case of a 61-year-old lady who presented with central chest and epigastric pain. A clinical diagnosis of cholecystitis was established, and a cholecystectomy was carried out. Microscopic examination of the gallbladder showed chronic cholecystitis and metastatic carcinoma of probable breast lobular carcinoma origin. The report was followed by further clinical and mammographic examination, which showed a focal area of thickening in the left breast. Core biopsy of this lesion confirmed the diagnosis of lobular carcinoma of the breast. Her tumor was treated with surgery followed by chemo/hormone therapy. The patient died 5 years after the cholecystectomy from disseminated breast malignancy.
