Abstract:

Breast carcinoma is the main tumor with a high risk of skin metastases followed by lung, colon and ovarian cancer. More than 60% of cutaneous metastases are adenocarcinoma. Zosteriform pattern is rarely seen and there are less than hundred cases declarations in the literature. It is comorbid in 0.7/10% of cancer patients and forms 2% of skin malignancies. Papules, nodules and ulcerations are the most common clinical manifestations of cutaneous metastases.
We report the case of a 55-year-old woman with a history of breast carcinoma, presented with painful erythematous, papulonodular lesions with dermatomal distribution for two-years. She underwent breast surgery with palliative chemotherapy. A biopsy was performed, showed cutaneous localization of a mucinous carcinoma.
