Liver metastases from a recurrent invasive ductal carcinoma via a lymphatic route

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Breast cancer usually metastasizes by haematogenous spread. This is a case report of a woman with unusual liver metastases from a recurrent invasive ductal carcinoma via a lymphatic route draining the outer part of the breast to the liver running parallelly with the right rectus abdominis muscle, depicted by preoperative sentinel node lymphoscintigraphy. Realizing this route of metastasis can impact survival, as it has a favourable prognosis compared with haematogenous metastasis, we want to draw attention to this.
