[A Case of Retroperitoneal Metastasis of Breast Cancer with Effective Insertion of Plural Stents].

A 61-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of epigastric pain during chemotherapy for breast cancer recurrence. She was diagnosed with left breast cancer and underwent mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection 13 years previously. The postoperative pathological examination result was luminal invasive lobular carcinoma. Hydronephrosis appeared after 1 month, which we diagnosed as ureter stenosis caused by radiation therapy for the lumbar metastasis and thus inserted an ureteralstent. After 1 month, computed tomography demonstrated expansion of the tumor into the stomach and duodenum. Upper gastrointestinalendoscopy demonstrated stenosis of the duodenum with intact mucosa. We diagnosed the duodenalstenosis due to the retroperitonealmetastasis of breast cancer and inserted duodenal, biliary, and pancreatic duct stents. The plural stent insertion was effective, and chemotherapy was administered with enforcement possibility for 7 months afterward.
