RESUMO
In June 2018, a 75-year-old woman was admitted for right upper quadrant pain. She had a history of radical mastectomy for left breast cancer in April 2009. The axillary lymph node, bone, gastric, and pleural metastases had been treated with hormonal therapy for 2 years from April 2016. Based on the examination findings, we diagnosed her with acute calculous cholecystitis and performed emergency percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage(PTGBD). Eleven days after PTGBD, we performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Pathological examination revealed a metastatic tumor from breast cancer in her gallbladder. Although her postoperative course was uneventful, the patient died of progression of the other organ metastasis 7 months after cholecystectomy. Gallbladder metastasis should be considered in patients with advanced breast cancer who present symptoms of cholecystitis.
