Carcinoma en cuirasse is a rare form of cutaneous metastasis characterized by the spread of a primary malignant tumor to the skin, most commonly associated with breast cancer in women. It may present as papulonodular lesions, erysipeloid, sclerodermiform infiltration, or en cuirassed, typically appearing months or years after the initial diagnosis of the primary malignancy. Diagnosis of carcinoma en cuirasse can be challenging, but histology can help distinguish it from other skin conditions. Treatment options for carcinoma en cuirasse are not well-defined due to the limited number of reported cases. Here, we report a case of a 30-year-old female, who presented with invasive ductal carcinoma which presented as carcinoma en cuirasse with a spoke-wheel pattern over the course of 6 months.
铠甲样癌是一种罕见的皮肤转移形式,其特征为原发性恶性肿瘤扩散至皮肤,在女性中最常与乳腺癌相关。它可能表现为丘疹结节性病变、丹毒样、硬皮病样浸润或铠甲样,通常在原发性恶性肿瘤初次诊断数月或数年之后出现。铠甲样癌的诊断可能具有挑战性,但组织学检查有助于将其与其他皮肤疾病区分开来。由于报告的病例数量有限,铠甲样癌的治疗方案尚不明确。在此,我们报告一例30岁女性患者,其患有浸润性导管癌,在6个月的病程中表现为具有辐轮状模式的铠甲样癌。
