Telangiectatic Carcinoma - Like Lymphangioma Circumscriptum. A Rare Form of Cutaneous Metastasis of Breast Carcinoma: Case Report.

Abstract

Introduction:The Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in middle-aged women and that causes skin metastasis. Skin metastasis in internal cancer cases is a very rare condition and may be difficult to diagnose and have poor prognostic marker. Cutaneous metastasis of breast carcinoma is mostly seen as direct invasion and/or local infiltration. However, in addition to the well-known types, cutaneous metastases may mimic many benign skin lesions and therefore may be difficult to diagnose.Case report:In this article we present a 36-year-old woman with telangiectatic carcinoma-like lymphangioma circumscriptum, a rare form of cutaneous metastasis skin metastases. It can be the first sign of internal malignancies, so early diagnosis is very important at this stage.Conclusion:Therefore, solitary lesions or benign dermatoses seen in the skin and not associated with specific disease should be considered as tumor metastasis especially in female patients with a history of breast cancer and differential diagnosis must be made.
