ABSTRACT

Breast cancer occupies accounts for 3% of the proportion of cancers that develop malignant ascites. It is usually associated with infiltrating lobular carcinoma. It presents as a multicentric disease. It metastasizes to peritoneal (in 10% of admissions), meninges, serous, retroperitoneum and gynecological organs. In addition, frequently metastasizes to the gastrointestinal tract (64%). Therefore, in women with ascites, hydronephrosis or pelvic masses, the diagnosis of infiltrating lobular cancer should be considered.
