Gastrointestinal tract is an uncommon site of breast cancer metastasis. Rectal linitis plastica (RLP) is a rare presentation of rectal neoplasia, both primary and secondary, and refers to a diffuse infiltration of the wall by an infiltrating carcinoma. Diagnostic assessment of RLP may be challenging since cross-sectional imaging and endoscopic findings may be nonspecific, and endoscopic biopsies are frequently non-diagnostic due to the submucosal disease localization. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with fine needle biopsy (FNB) is widely used for the diagnostic assessment of sub-epithelial lesions of upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. However, data about the use of EUS in case of rectal linitis plastica are very poor. We present a case of rectal metastasis as the first presentation of lobular breast cancer, presenting as rectal linitis plastica and diagnosed with EUS-FNB.
