Title: Cutaneous metastasis of primary breast carcinoma

Abstract

Cutaneous metastases are considered to be those neoplasms that extend to the skin due to lymphatic and hematic dissemination, generally originating from an extra cutaneous tumor, almost always disseminated and aggressive. Metastases in the skin are usually a late event in the course of neoplastic disease, but they can also present as the first sign of an unknown tumor. (1) Breast carcinoma is the most frequent internal malignant neoplasm in women, manifesting most frequently between the fifth and sixth decade of life. 45% of skin metastases of breast cancer occur between 6 months and 4 years after diagnosis of the primary tumor, although metastatic lesions can be observed after 10 years, so the risk of metastasis would remain latent during the rest of life (2). It is a prognostic factor of the disease associated with the morbidity and mortality of the patient, since concomitant metastases are usually found in distant organs.
