ABSTRACT

In the clinical course of malignant tumors between 1 and 10, 4 % of them present cutaneous metastases, so their presence is considered to be a synonymous of a quick disease progress with low survival rates. In males, the tumor that most often produces cutaneous metastases is lung cancer and in females it is breast cancer. It is rare for skin metastasis to be the first manifestation of the tumor, being breast carcinoma the one that most frequently antecedes these events. In the case we present, skin metastasis was the first manifestation of underlying primary breast tumor.
