Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 A diffuse, erythematous swelling and a small, round, blue nodule on the left breast.

• 

  Fig. 2 (A, B) Histopathological findings showed poorly differentiated carcinoma with prominent lymphovascular invasion (H&E; A: ×40, B: ×100). Immunohistochemical examination showed that the cells were positive for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cytokeratin (CK)-7 (C) but negative for CK-20 (D), GCDFP-15 (E), estrogen receptor (F), and progesterone receptor (G) (C~G: ×100).
