Abstract
The clinical course of patients with breast cancer is often protracted with metastases presenting a considerable time after initial diagnosis and surgical intervention. Whilst specific common patterns of tumour dissemination may be anticipated and readily recognised, more unusual sites may present with confusing symptoms seemingly unconnected to the breast primary. This report documents two cases of primary breast cancer metastatic to the gastrointestinal tract presenting to one surgical unit.
