However, they can be the presenting lesions. [3] Histologically, these metastases usually show features reminiscent of the primary breast malignancy, but with variable degrees of differentiation. [4] Case report Case report 1 A 45-year-old woman presented [ccij-online.org]

In this paper, we present the rare case of a patient who presented to our clinic with a scalp mass, and was operated with a preliminary diagnosis of a pyogenic granuloma&59; however, the patient’s histologic assessment revealed a diagnosis of late-term [ingentaconnect.com]

Skin lesions were assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors and cutaneous symptoms by present/absent criteria. RESULTS: A total of 23 metastatic breast cancer patients with skin metastasis who were treated with eribulin were analyzed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

They are usually seen in patients with advanced disease, but they can be the presenting lesion. Case presentation A 48-year-old woman presented with a 3-month history of progressive appearance of multiple asymptomatic nodular lesions on the chest. [casesjournal.biomedcentral.com]

Multiple clinical and histologic subtypes may be present within patients, as evidenced by this patient’s presentation, making it essential to look for unusual cutaneous presentations in recently diagnosed IBC patients. [jcadonline.com]

• Splenomegaly

  There was no evidence of distant/metastatic disease except for underlying cirrhosis of liver, portal hypertension, and splenomegaly. [karger.com]

• Intestinal Disease

  Topics covered include the cutaneous manifestations of connective tiss ue diseases; nonimmunologic arthritides; immune and complement deficie ncies; malignancies; hematologic disorders; endocrine diseases; gastro intestinal diseases; metabolic diseases [books.google.com]

Other distant metastatic workup is negative. ER/PR &her2neu was negative for breast specimen. Post op adjuvant chemotherapy given with AC Regimen. DISCUSSION: Cutaneous metastasis may herald the diagnosis of internal malignancy. [jemds.com]

After treatment, 43% of patients exhibited a partial response, 35% stable disease and 22% progressive disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Getting treatment Electrochemotherapy is a relatively new treatment, but is now available in an increasing number of hospitals in England, Scotland and Wales. You can ask your treatment team if this is a suitable treatment option for you. [breastcancercare.org.uk]

A second treatment cycle was administered in 2 patients. Table 1. [clincancerres.aacrjournals.org]

She received adjuvant treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Nine years after initial treatment, skin lesions were found on her right arm, chest. [e-crt.org]

The prognosis of cancer breast with CM depends primarily on the pathology and biological behavior of the primary tumor and its response to treatment. CM from breast cancer usually occurs in advanced stages and the treatment outcome is poor. [ccij-online.org]

Abstract Cutaneous metastasis is the main cause of morbidity and mortality of cancer patients, denoting a guarded prognosis. The clinical spectrum of the disease is broad and can mimic benign conditions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The stage of your breast cancer when you’re diagnosed plays an important role in your prognosis. [healthline.com]

They are frequently a sign of poor prognosis. [omicsonline.org]

Generally, cutaneous metastases are usually associated with advanced dise ase with metastases to multiple organs usually with poor prognosis. [sisjournal.org]

Hypothesis The main goal of this study is to understand the etiology of IBC cutaneous metastasis. [theibcnetwork.org]

Etiology Metastases arise as disconnected extensions of a primary tumor. This occurs when cancerous cells break away from a primary tumor and spread elsewhere. By definition, this makes the primary tumor malignant. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Other possible etiologies can be acute or chronic cutaneous changes secondary to radiotherapy or even infectious processes such as erysipelas, cellulitis, or candidiasis. 15 The present case highlights the importance of identifying skin lesions by the [journals.lww.com]

Epidemiology The incidence of cutaneous malignancy varies. In some autopsy studies of patients with metastatic carcinoma, as many as 9% of individuals were noted to have cutaneous metastases. Other studies suggest a range of 3-4%. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Interestingly, the abscopal response represents an unusual response to radiation therapy in which radiation of a tumor causes untreated distant skin lesions to dissipate without recurrence. [33] The pathophysiology and mechanism of the abscopal effect [najms.org]
