J Surg Case Rep. 2018 May 29;2018(5):rjy111. doi: 10.1093/jscr/rjy111. eCollection 2018 May.

Abstract

We report a case of a 72-year-old female, with an extensive breast cancer history, who presented with abdominal pain to her general practitioner. Cross-sectional imaging demonstrated a lesion in the head of pancreas, which was not amenable to curative resection. Percutaneous biopsy was obtained, which demonstrated metastatic lobular breast cancer. This rare case highlights how previous medical histories may assist in final pathological diagnosis.
