Abstract
Advanced Breast cancer mostly metastasizes to the bone, liver and lungs. Metastatic to the duodenum from the primary breast cancer is extremely rare and encountered only after occurrence of symptoms. Diagnosis is only confirmed by histopathology and Immunohistochemistry. However lobular cancers of breast are mostly associated with serosal metastasis to pleura and abdomen but here, we report a rare case of isolated duodenal carcinoma from ductal breast carcinoma with 7 years of latency without taking the adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
