Resumen
We present the case of an 82 year old woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011 and who underwent surgery and adjuvant treatment with tamoxifen. In 2015 she was hospitalized for an upper intestinal obstruction. Involvement of a tumor was ruled out, but video-assisted thoracoscopy showed the presence of pleural effusion and pleural lesions corresponding to metastases. Hormone therapy was initiated, and the patient responded adequately. One year later, a gastroduodenoscopy showed edema and erythema of the duodenal bulb. The biopsy corroborated metastasis from breast cancer.
