It pre-sents 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.
