Lobular breast cancer (LBC) has an increased risk of gastrointestinal (GI) spread compared with ductal breast carcinoma. Breast cancer commonly metastasises to bone, lung, liver, central nervous system and rarely to the gastrointestinal tract. As the prognosis for breast cancer continues to improve with modern medical practice it is important to be aware of the various clinical presentations and the appropriate management of breast cancer metastases. We describe a case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with symptoms of bowel obstruction 30 months after undergoing mastectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy for LBC. A Computer Tomography (CT) scan showed terminal ileal thickening suggestive of Crohn's disease but histopathology revealed metastatic lobular carcinoma. Surgical resection to relieve her small bowel obstruction confirmed LBC. This case illustrates an unusual presentation of metastatic breast cancer causing small bowel obstruction with radiological features mimicking Crohn's disease. Patients with breast cancer can present with intestinal obstruction due to metastatic spread to the small intestine; this may resemble Crohn's disease clinically and radiologically. Lobular breast cancer is more likely to metastasize to the gastrointestinal tract. Breast cancer metastases can appear radiologically as Crohn’s disease. Endoscopic biopsies in cases of GI spread of breast cancer can be nondiagnostic.
