A 71-year-old woman was admitted for medical examination because of gastric symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, epigastric discomfort and weight loss. She underwent 9 years before a right mastectomy for a poorly differentiated infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast, with a homolateral node dissection that showed metastasis in 3 lymph nodes. She was treated with 6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy, followed by hormonal therapy for 4 years. |
