RESUMO
We read with interest Gartrell's recent report of a woman who developed a factor V inhibitor. Gartrell noted in his report that the inhibitor appeared to exhibit time dependence, as the mixing study showed slightly more prolongation of both the PT and the aPTT after 1 hr than immediately following mixing. We believe Gartrell's article may shed light on a recent intriguing case of a patient with factor V inhibitor at our institution.

Primary breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Metastatic cancer to the breast is very rare. Colorectal cancers usually metastasize to the liver and the lung; other sites of metastasis from colon cancer are uncommon and are usually found in association with extensive liver and/or lung metastases. This is a report of a rare case of aggressive rectal cancer with metastasis to the breast without liver or lung metastases.
