| Summary: | We present the case of a 82 years old women, who was admitted in our surgical clinic with two giant breast
tumors, located on the left breast, with skin ulceration and suprainfection, accompanied by a big axillary mass
in the left axilla.
The patient was known with a previous rectal tumor, recently operated in another surgical service, for which
it was an anterior rectal resection and definitive left colostomy done.
The case is an atypical form of presentation of a Lynch II syndrome. The indication for total mastectomy and
axillary lymphadenectomy was sustained by tumors' dimensions and suprainfection, although the case was
oncologically overcome. |
