Zosteriform Skin Metastases from Breast Cancer

Metastatic skin cancer is a rare complication of internal malignancies.  Patients who develop cutaneous metastases rarely present with a zosteriform distribution.  Herein, we describe a 65-year-old woman with a prior history of breast cancer in whom zosteriform metastases developed along her left T8-9 abdominal dermatomes.

Dendritic cells (DCs) carry antigen from peripheral tissues via lymphatics to lymph nodes. We report here that differentiated DCs can also travel from the periphery into the blood. Circulating DCs migrated to the spleen, liver and lung but not lymph nodes. They also homed to the bone marrow, where they were retained better than in most other tissues. Homing of DCs to the bone marrow depended on...

Leptomeningeal metastases in breast cancer.

Central nervous system (CNS) metastasis from breast cancer may be characterized as either parenchymal brain metastasis (BM) or leptomeningeal (LM) metastasis. BM are much more common (about 80% of all CNS metastases), and have been more extensively studied than LM. CNS metastasis in breast cancer has been associated with reduced overall survival, with the shortest survival generally observed in...
