Carcinoma Erysipeloides: Cutaneous Metastasis Mimicking Benign Disorder
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Carcinoma erysipeloides (CE) is an uncommon form of cutaneous metastasis which presents as indurated erythematous plaques with raised margins. It is caused by malignant infiltration of dermal lymphatics. CE may be the first manifestation of an unknown primary or may be seen at any other stage of active carcinoma or even after treatment. It mimics many benign conditions hence diagnosis may be delayed .We present two cases of carcinoma breast with CE.
