title: Ulcerated plaques in the pelvic region of an adult female.
abstract: Cutaneous metastatic mammary carcinoma may occur in patients with a history of breast carcinoma. Cutaneous metastases typically present as firm papulonodules on the chest. We describe a rare case of cutaneous metastatic mammary carcinoma arising in a 45-year-old woman presenting as painful, indurated plaques with ulceration in the pelvic region.
