Excerpt

Hepatic metastases from breast cancer can occasionally mimic cirrhosis anatomically, in both the presence and the absence of prior systemic chemotherapy [1‐3]. We present a case of diffuse desmoplastic metastatic breast carcinoma (Ca) masquerading as cirrhosis that presented with new-onset jaundice associated with severe portal hypertension and its sequelae. This case also serves as a background for a discussion of both the role of ¹⁸FDG-PET scanning in metastatic breast cancer and the entity of tamoxifen-induced hepatotoxicity. …
