Multiple Distant Cutaneous Metastasis: An Uncommon Presentation of a Common Malignancy
Keywords:
Cutaneous, breast carcinoma, FNAC, metastasis
Abstract
Cutaneous metastasis from carcinoma breast in areas outside the chest wall is very rare. We present a case of young female with bilateral breast swellings with a clinicoradiological diagnosis of Fibroadenoma wherein FNAC proved useful in establishing the diagnosis of bilateral breast carcinoma with distant cutaneous metastasis.References
