ABSTRACT

Several studies have demonstrated an increase in cancer in patients with systemic sclerosis (SS) especially lung cancer, but also breast cancer. We present a rapidly progressive SS, in a 70 years old woman, with early systemic affectation and left breast induration. Mammography and several biopsies diagnosed a breast adenocarcinoma. The duration between SS onset and breast cancer diagnosis was 9 months.
