Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in Australia. With the developmentin screening, diagnosis, and treatment, people are living longer with metastatic disease of the breast. This malignancy commonly metastasizes to the lung, brain, bone, andliver. However,due to the increased survival of patients living with breast cancer, metastases may present with complications that have not been seen before. We describe a case of a 55-year-old female with a background of metastatic breast cancer to the brain who presented to the emergency department with acute appendicitis. At surgery, a malignant mass was found in the cecum obstructingthe appendix, and histopathology revealed metastatic breast cancer.
