Skin Nodules as a First Presentation of Synchronous Bilateral Invasive Lobular Breast Carcinoma: A Case Report
The most common cause of skin metastases in adult women is primary breast carcinoma, which comprises about 70% of cases [1].

| description | The most common cause of skin metastases in adult women is primary breast carcinoma, which comprises about 70% of cases [1]. Skin metastases have non-specific clinical appearances, making it challenging to differentiate them from other benign conditions [1]. We present a case of a 52-year-old female with type II diabetes and a three-month history of refractory skin lesions who did not respond to anti-inflammatory treatment. The patient subsequently complained of a right breast lump, evaluation of which led to the diagnosis of bilateral synchronous invasive lobular carcinoma. |
