Metastatic breast cancer with obstructive jaundice due to para-aortic lymph node enlargement is an unusual case that poses a therapeutic challenge in determining a chemotherapy regimen.A 61-year-old woman presented with triple-negative left invasive ductal breast carcinoma with liver and pulmonary metastases. After receiving gemcitabine and carboplatin as the 4th-line treatment, chemotherapy was postponed due to an increased bilirubin level. Abdominal imaging revealed para-aortic lymph node metastases compressing the distal common hepatic duct. The patient then received capecitabine along with ursodeoxycholic acid. This relieved her jaundice after 8 cycles of chemotherapy, and radiologic evaluation revealed a complete resolution of the obstructive jaundice.This finding emphasizes the success of capecitabine regimen as a salvage therapy in a metastatic breast cancer patient with hyperbilirubinemia and opens up the possibility of optimizing systemic chemotherapy for metastatic obstructive jaundice in the setting of limited facility resources.
