Erythematous indurated plaque lesions on the breast

Abstract

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 The nipple was retracted.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.
