چکیده
INTRODUCTION The incidence of cutaneous metastasis in patients with cancer is estimated to be 0.6% to 10.4%. In women, breast cancer is the most frequent primary malignancy metastasizing to the skin. A large study reported that cutaneous metastasis occurs in 23.9% of patients with breast carcinoma. Different patterns of cutaneous breast carcinoma metastasis have been described, including nodular, erysipeloid, telangiectatic, en cuirasse (sclerodermoid) carcinoma, alopecia neoplastica, and zosteriform patterns. However, purpura is a very rare manifestation. Here, we report an atypical case of telangiectatic metastatic breast carcinoma presenting as a large purpuric patch on the abdomen around the umbilicus.
