Metastasis of the stomach wall in mammary cancer as first sign of disease spread 9 years after removal of the primary carcinoma is reported. The diagnosis was proven by surgical biopsy with demonstration of positive hormone receptors. The radiological and CT signs of infiltration of the stomach wall without mucosal destruction is a rare but typical finding in tubular invasive breast cancer.
