A 50-year-old female patient, who had retraction of the right nipple for 2 years and erythema in the same breast for 2 months, was referred to our clinic. Mammography and breast ultrasonography performed at the time of onset of nipple retraction were normal. Dermatological examination revealed three erythematous, mildly indurated plaque lesions on the right breast, one of which involved the areola [ Figure 1]. The nipple was retracted. The patient had no subjective complaints. The right axillary examination detected several lymphadenopathies, as confirmed by ultrasonography.

“…It can occur after chemotherapy, radiotherapy, lymphadenectomy or tumor excision surgery of primary breast carcinoma. It has been suggested that these therapies lead to shedding of metastatic cells into subepidermal lymphatics leading to blockage of lymph ducts [5,6]. Clinically, it appears as a well-defined, warm and tender inflammatory erythematous plaque, thus mimicking erysipelas.…”

Carcinoma erysipeloides (CE) is a relatively rare variant of cutaneous metastasis more often observed in breast cancer than in other carcinomas in women. Clinically, it appears as a well-defined, warm and tender inflammatory erythematous plaque, thus mimicking Erysipelas, Cellulitis or post mastectomy complications of lymphedema and acute radiation dermatitis. We report a case of CE in a women previously treated for infiltrating ductal carcinoma by modified radical mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. An early and accurate differential diagnosis of this disease gives the opportunity to diagnose and halt the systemic spread of the cancer.
