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
