BACKGROUND:Gallbladder carcinoma is a common malignancy in the Indian subcontinent.It commonly metastasizes through lymphatics,direct invasion,and hematogenous spread.A common extra-abdominal site of metastasis is the lungs.Simultaneous metastasis to breast and ovary is extremely rare.METHOD:This report describes an unusual case of carcinoma gallbladder metastasizing to the breast and ovary at the same time.RESULTS:A 45-year-old woman came to us with complaints of flatulent dyspepsia associated with weight loss and anorexia.Ultrasound of the abdomen revealed hepatomegaly with thick-walled gallbladder with multiple stones and a mass at the fundus,but normal uterus and ovary.Contrast-enhanced computer tomography of the abdomen showed a gallbladder mass infiltrating the liver parenchyma.The patient underwent radical cholecystectomy.Histopathological examination revealed a poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma with margins free from tumor infiltration.One month after surgery she developed a breast lump.Ultrasound of the abdomen for metastatic workup revealed an ovary mass.Simple mastectomy and salphingo-opherectomy were performed,and histopathological examination revealed a metastatic adenocarcinoma.The patient is now on chemotherapy with gemcitabin.CONCLUSION:This is an unusual case of carcinoma of the gallbladder with metastasis to the breast and ovary,which has not been documented before.

A common extra-abdominal site of metastasis is the lungs.Simultaneous metastasis to breast and ovary is extremely rare. METHOD: This report describes an unusual case of carcinoma gallbladder metastasizing to the breast and ovary at the same time .RESULTS: A 45-year-old woman came to us with complaints of flatulent dyspepsia associated with weight loss and anorexia .Ultrasound of the abdomen revealed hepatomegaly with thick-walled gallbladder with multiple stones and a mass at the fundus, but normal uterus and ovary. Contrast-enhanced computer tomography of the abdomen showed a gallbladder mass infiltrating the liver parenchyma. the patient underwent radical cholecystectomy. Histopathological examination revealed a poorly- differentiated adenocarcinoma with margins free from tumor infiltration .One month after surgery she developed a breast lump. Ultrasound of the abdomen for metastatic workup revealed an ovary mass. Simple mastectomy and salphingo-opherectomy were performed, and histopathological examination revealed a metastatic adenocarcinoma. The patient is now on chemotherapy with gemcitabin.CONCLUSION: This is an unusual case of carcinoma of the gallbladder with metastasis to the breast and ovary, which has not been documented before.
