Abstract
A 71-year-old white woman had scaly plaques on both breasts for 1 year. The plaque on the right breast was 3 em in diameter with a rolled border extending onto the areola. The plaque on the left breast had a similar appearance and was 2 X 3 em in diameter with ulceration in the areola. She had had a basal cell carcinoma and a melanoma excised from her back 8 months previously. After histopathologic confirmation of basal cell carcinoma, wide excisions were performed. At the 6-month postoperative follow-up examination no evidence of recurrence was found. Findings of each biopsy specimen showed an ulcerated, superficial basal cell carcinoma. The stroma between the tumor islands was heavily infiltrated with plasma cells and lymphocytes. The excised specimens had identical histologic features. The lesions were completely excised.
