Abstract

We present a patient who had a left mastectomy for breast cancer and 3 years later developed intestinal obstruction due to metastatic spread to the small bowel. The small bowel follow through showed multiple stenoses of the small intestine leading to a variety of differential diagnostic considerations as metastatic spread from breast cancer to the small intestine has not been convincingly documented so far.
