    Gastric metastasis from breast cancer is rare, accounting for 0.3–2% of cases, and can mimic primary gastric malignancy.

    A 59-year-old woman developed gastric metastasis of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer 10 years after radical mastectomy.

  • 3

    Diagnosis required endoscopic biopsy and immunohistochemistry due to nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms.

  • 4

    The patient experienced significant symptom relief and disease stabilization with ribociclib and letrozole treatment.

    This case emphasizes the need for awareness of late gastrointestinal metastasis in long-term breast cancer survivors.
