Cutaneous Metastases of Infiltrating Ductal Breast Carcinoma: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Cutaneous metastases can have variable clinical appearances and can mimic benign skin lesions. Breast carcinoma metastasis is the most common carcinoma encountered by dermatologists and it presents in various morphological and histological forms. A 52-year-old woman with a history of infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma grade SBR III treated 7years before, presented an ulcerative lesion on the chest. The biopsy confirmed the cutaneous metastasis of the breast cancer. Although cutaneous Metastases are rare in clinical practice, every practitioner should be highly suspicious of acute-onset, persistent, ulcerative, firm papulonodules, thus their detection may contribute to reduce associated morbidities and mortality.
