| description | Carcinoma en cuirasse is a rare form of cutaneous
metastasis. Like other cutaneous metastasis, Carcinoma en
cuirasse signifies advanced malignant disease with poor
prognosis and short survival. We report a 45 year old woman,
known case of infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the right breast
and had received treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy
followed by surgery, presented with seven month history of
progressive appearance of multiple nodular lesions on the
chest. Diagnosis of carcinoma en cuirasse was made based on
clinical and histopathological features. Cutaneous metastasis
signifies the persistence of primary cancer after treatment, and
dramatically alters the therapeutic plans. Due to the high
incidence of cutaneous manifestations of breast carcinoma,
every practitioner should be highly suspicious of any acuteonset, persistent, firm papulonodules, especially on the chest |
