Abstract

A 64-year-old woman who underwent surgical treatment for breast cancer 8 years ago was referred to our institute for the evaluation of lower extremity edema. Thereafter, her pleural effusion, ascites, and lower extremity edema improved. Peritoneal breast cancer metastasis, sometimes presenting as linitis plastica of the stomach, mimics primary gastric cancer.
