Skin metastasis from many cancers may occur during the course of disease. The majority of skin metastases develop as a result of direct invasion of the cancer but sometimes, hematogenous or lymphogenous metastases may develop as in breast, lung, gastrointestinal tract cancers and soft tissue sarcomas. Breast cancer is the most common cause of skin metastases in women. The skin metastasis of breast cancer usually develops as nodular lesions which settle down from the primary tumor area. Herein, we report a case of widespread erythematous skin metastasis from breast cancer, without visceral involvement. [Turk J Cancer 2009;39(2):66-68]
