“…No colonic lesions or enlarged lymph nodes were seen on recent surveillance CTs either. This may be due to ILC’s tendency to infiltrate the submucosal layer of GIT, which may appear as smooth bowel wall thickening on CT only, mimicking physiological peristalsis [ 9 , 10 ]. The mucosa may appear normal during colonoscopy, which suggests it would be falsely negative unless random biopsies are taken [ 10 ].…”

Breast cancer most commonly metastasizes to the bone, lung, liver, and brain. The colon is an uncommon site for metastases and its symptoms are variable. A 60-year-old female with a history of breast cancer was referred for colonoscopy following a positive fecal occult blood test (FOBT); there were no discrete lesions concerning for primary colonic cancers or metastasis; however, a random biopsy revealed metastatic breast cancer. The possibility of colonic metastases must be considered when assessing positive FOBT in a patient with previous breast cancer.
