Introduction: Gastric outlet obstruction or pyloric syndrome can occur secondary to neoplastic involvement, and metastasis as an etiology is unusual. Breast neoplasms generally cause bone, liver, and lung metastases, rarely involving the gastrointestinal tract.
Case presentation: A 69-year-old female patient with infiltrating lobular carcinoma of the right breast consulted for abdominal pain and postprandial emetic episodes with oral intolerance and dyspnea. Bilateral neoplastic breast involvement and dilation of the gastric chamber with thickening of the pylorus were recorded. She required antiemetic management and placement of a nasogastric tube. She was taken to an upper digestive tract endoscopy, which found an ulcerated lesion with an infiltrative appearance at the postpyloric level that circumferentially compromised the duodenal lumen. Then, a biopsy was taken, which was compatible with a breast carcinoma of a lobular type. This entity, called pyloric syndrome due to neoplasia, can be managed with gastrojejunostomy or an enteral prosthesis that improves the quality of life of patients with an ominous short-term prognosis. The patient in our case expressed advance directives not to receive invasive procedures, for which an uncovered metal prosthesis was placed for palliative purposes, achieving the re-establishment of the feeding route and resolution of dyspnea due to restriction.
Conclusions: The metastatic involvement of neoplasms of the breast to the gastrointestinal tract is rare; however, it should be suspected in elderly patients with previously documented neoplasms.
