Metastatic tumors of breast are rare and account only
for approximately 2% of all malignant breast cancers.
Breast metastasis of stomach's signet ring cell carcinoma
(SRCC) is also a very rare condition. Herein, we report
two rare cases of gastric SRCC metastasis to the breast.
First case is a 63-year-old female patient who was admitted
to our clinic with swelling in the left breast and arm
with enlarged left axillary lymphadenopathy. She was diagnosed
with gastric SRCC a year ago. Second case is
a 65-year-old woman diagnosed with gastric SRCC who
had undergone total gastrectomy two years ago, and had
one-year history of operation for kruckenberg's tumor. This
patient was admitted to our clinic with two months history
of pain and swelling in the left breast. She was also diagnosed
as a gastric SRCC metastasis. [Turk J Cancer
