Breast carcinoma tnetastatic to the gallbladder is extremely rare and only 4 cases have been reported in the English literature. We hereby report a 54-year-old lady who was diagnosed as having breast carcinoma and underwent modified radical mastectomy. One month after the operation, she developed acute abdomenal pain and underwent cholecystectomy after clinical investigation. Histopathological examination revealed metastasis to the gallbladder. Being considered a patient with tnetastatic breast carcinoma she was subjected to taxane and anthracycline-based palliative chemotherapy. Later she had CNS involvement and died of the progressive disease soon after few months.展开更多

Skull X-ray revealed multiple osteolytic lesions. The pa- tient was evaluated for multiple myeloma but detailed workup revealed the diagnosis of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with osteolytic bone metastases. Thus, bone metastases due to HCC, although rare, should be considered in patients presenting with bone pains due to os- teolytic lesions.展开更多
