Abstract
|
|
|
|
About 25% of patients with breast cancer develop one of the several clinicopathological types of cutaneous metastasis. Telangiectatic cutaneous metastases are very rare and may present with telangiectasia, erythema, papulovesicles, purpuric patch or plaque. Histopathologically, they demonstrate ectatic, dilated dermal blood vessels that contain atypical tumor cells and thrombi. We report a rare case of telangiectatic metastatic breast carcinoma on the scalp and shin, which presented with cutaneous angiosarcoma-like violaceous plaques.
