Colorectal and gastric metastases from lobular breast cancer that resembled superficial neoplastic lesions.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and has a risk of late recurrence. We report a case of metastasis to the stomach and colon 23 years after surgery, with characteristic findings. A 74-year-old woman underwent breast cancer resection at the age of 51. At the time, no additional therapy was performed despite the histological diagnosis of invasive lobular carcinoma with lymph node metastasis. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, which was performed as a follow-up for her chronic gastritis, revealed multiple erosions. Histology revealed diffuse proliferation of signet ring cell-like atypical cells, that were positive for cytokeratin CAM5.2 and estrogen receptor. These findings suggested metastasis from the invasive lobular breast carcinoma. Positron-emission tomography revealed sternal and vertebral metastases. Colonoscopy also performed to screen for intestinal metastasis revealed several lesions that resembled hyperplastic polyps. Although these lesions were not strongly suspected of metastasis, histology surprisingly revealed the same findings as the gastric metastasis. This case involved gastric and colorectal superficial metastases that were synchronously detected 23 years after primary treatment. We report that early-stage colorectal metastasis may resemble hyperplastic polyps, and biopsy should always be considered in patients with a history of breast cancer, regardless of years elapsed since treatment.
