We experienced an advanced breast cancer patient who failed to receive diagnostic imaging despite regular video conferences with her physician during the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in delayed liver metastasis detection. Recognizing shortcomings of telemedicine and collaboration among medical institutions for uninterrupted cancer care is imperative during the pandemic.

Breast cancer liver metastasis (BCLM) is considered to occur by hematogenous spread of primary breast cancer cells. We herein present a case of lymphatic BCLM that was confirmed by preoperative imaging for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). A woman in her early 70s was diagnosed with clinical stage T2N0M0 invasive lobular cancer of the left breast. She underwent mastectomy with SLNB. Preoperative lymphoscintigraphy showed intense accumulation of isotope in the upper abdomen, corresponding to segment IV of the liver on single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT). However, no abnormalities were detected on magnetic resonance imaging. At 2.5 years postoperatively, the patient’s serum CA15-3 concentration was elevated, and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) showed a solitary liver metastasis. The PET/CT findings were similar to the SPECT/CT findings obtained 2.5 years earlier, indicating that the BCLM had developed lymphatically. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of lymphatic BCLM proven by imaging examination.
