title: Multiple cutaneous metastases from male breast carcinoma.
abstract: Skin involvement as a symptom, or even the presenting sign, of this breast cancer in men is not well known by dermatologists. In fact, a review of the English-language literature reveals few references about this subject. We report a case of breast carcinoma in a 58-year-old man with rapidly progressive cutaneous metastases that did not respond to any treatment schedules.
