title: Cutaneous metastasis of a breast cancer diagnosed 13 years before.
abstract: Metastasis is defined as a neoplastic lesion originating from another primary tumor, with which it is no longer in contact. Cutaneous metastases result from lymphatic embolization, hematogenous or contiguous dissemination or also direct implantation during surgical procedures. In women, the tumor most likely to metastasize to skin is breast cancer, which may manifest as papulonodular neoplastic lesions. We report the case of a 66 years old female patient, presenting papulonodular lesions 13 years after the initial treatment with surgery and chemotherapy for a cancer of the left breast.
