Abstract
Though differentiating gastric metastasis of breast cancer from primary gastric cancer is challenging, it is of paramount importance because the treatments to these two diseases are completely different. A wrong diagnosis could lead the patient to unnecessary gastrectomy. It is more challenging for gastric metastasis of invasive ductal carcinoma given its rarity. Here we reported a case whose diagnosis was made correctly with complementary lab studies, clinically well‐informed Pathologist and special immunohistochemical staining. Correct diagnosis and following treatment saved the patient from gastrectomy and prolonged her survival.
