“…In particular, it was difficult to make a correct diagnosis because the patient was male. Only a few cases of cutaneous metastasis of male breast cancer have been reported to date ( Table 1 ) 6 7 8 9 10 . In immunohistochemistry findings, the patient was diagnosed as a triple negative breast cancer, which is different from most of male breast cancer.…”

A 63-year-old male presented with a painful skin lesion on the left side of the neck and upper chest approximately two months prior to presentation. Diffuse erythematous to purplish-colored sclerotic patches were observed. He had been treated with intravenous antibiotics for two weeks for cellulitis, but the lesion did not improve. Punch biopsy, and neck computed tomography (CT) with contrast enhancement were performed to differentiate between cellulitis and scleroderma. Histopathological examination revealed infiltration of pleomorphic and poorly differentiated tumor cells extending into thickened collagen bundles, and mitotic activity. Based on histologic and radiologic findings, the patient was suspected to have poorly differentiated carcinoma, and further evaluation of the origin of the carcinoma was performed. A subareolar mass on the left breast was observed on chest CT, and a needle biopsy was performed; results were consistent with findings from the skin biopsy. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with carcinoma en cuirasse, a subtype of cutaneous metastasis of breast cancer, was transferred to oncology, and underwent palliative chemotherapy.

“…The zosteriform pattern is extremely rarely reported in patients who have developed cutaneous metastasis with clinical zoster-like infection. Our literature review found that this rare condition had been reported in a few kinds of primary malignancy, for example, lung cancer, melanoma, prostate cancer, lymphoma, and breast cancer [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] .…”

The zosteriform pattern is an infrequent cutaneous finding in oncologic patients who have a skin metastasis from a different primary source. Herein we report a case of adenocarcinoma of the lung which presented with zoster-like lesions along the thoracic dermatome. The histopathology indicated a metastatic neoplasm with variable glandular formations. Immunohistochemistry results pointed to the diagnosis of metastasized lung cancer. We suggest physicians should consider this rare diagnosis when experiencing similar cases.
