Cutaneous Metastasis Revealing Breast Cancer: A Case Report

Abstract

Cutaneous metastases are phenomena typically more frequently observed in advanced stages of the disease. However, some cancers can remain clinically silent until the discovery of a cutaneous metastasis, often complicating the diagnosis of the primary tumor, especially if it's a rare tumor like breast cancer in men. It is in this context that we report a case of localized cutaneous metastasis on the scalp, without the presence of other associated clinical signs. Investigations revealed a metastatic breast carcinoma requiring extensive surgical intervention, complemented by adjuvant treatments.
