ABSTRACT

Cutaneous metastases from breast cancer are classified into 6 varieties, according to the clinical presentation and histopathology, 3% of them are presented in a cuirass pattern. Clinically it is present¡ed as an erythematous and infiltrated plaque, with a sclerodermiform-like shape, accompanied by nodules and papules. We report a 65 year-old woman with a history of breast cancer 8 years prior to the beginning of her dermatosis, compatible with a carcinoma in cuirass, confirmed by histopathology studies
