A Case of Carcinoma en Cuirasse Associated with Carcinoma Telangiectaticum
Abstract
-
The cutaneous metastaaes from carcinoma of breast produce four definite clinical types: inflammatory carcinoma, telangiectatic carcinoma, nodular carcinoma, and carcinoma en cuirasse. We present a case of 51-year-old woman who had purpuric, hard, sclerotic plaque with ulceration, crust and. several pea-sized hemorrhagic papulovesicular eruptions on the right chest wall for one year. Histopathological findings show metastatic ductal carcinoma but, the primary focus was not determined.
