Abstract
Carcinoma en cuirasse is an uncommon skin metastasis with diffuse cutaneous infiltration affecting usually the chest. It is characterized by sclerodermiform induration of the skin. Breast cancer is the most malignant tumor that metastasizes to the skin. We report the case of a man, 79-year-old, with an 18-month history of sclerodermiform infiltration in the left chest. The histological diagnosis was infiltrating breast carcinoma with lung and skin metastasis.
