Abstract
Objective: The main objective of this article is to report the case of a patient with a previous case of breast cancer and mastectomy who, after 3 years, had gastric metastasis in the form of plastic linitis. Its secondary objective is to assist health professionals regarding the relationship between the spread of breast carcinoma to the stomach causing dyspeptic and / or obstructive symptoms. Case details: Female patient, 51 years old, with a past history of invasive breast ductal carcinoma, complaining of symptoms of acute obstructive abdomen due to plastic linitis (BORMANN 4) whose primary tumor was from the breast. The definitive diagnosis was made possible only by immunohistochemical analysis, which has proved to be of great value in this type of case. Final considerations: Due to the great morbidity and mortality of this pathology, it should be ruled out in cases of gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with previous cases of malignant breast cancer in which other more common causes cannot be found.
