Description
Qingkui Liu and co-authors published a case report in 2026 about a 58-year-old woman whose breast cancer had spread to her colon. Spread to the gut occurs in under 1 percent of advanced breast cancer cases. Her original tumor was a lobular type known for drifting to the gut and ovaries.
Five years after removal of her right breast, a routine scan found pelvic masses. Whole-body imaging lit up spots in her colon wall and both ovaries. A camera exam showed a narrowing lesion with smooth surface in the colon. Surgery removed part of the colon, the womb, and both ovaries. Tissue tests confirmed spread of the breast cancer, not a new colon cancer. The authors stress keeping spread in mind.
