Carcinoma erysipeloides (CE) is an uncommon cutaneous metastasis of breast carcinoma; it may be confused with erysipelas and other inflammatory lymphedemas. We report two cases of CE in women previously treated by mastectomy for ductal invasive carcinoma. CE is the clinical manifestation of dissemination of neoplastic cells in the cutaneous lymphatic vessels; thus it as a very poor prognosis despite all therapies.

Abstract
Carcinoma erysipeloides (CE) is an uncommon cutaneous metastasis of breast carcinoma; it may be confused with erysipelas and other inflammatory lymphedemas. We report two cases of CE in women previously treated by mastectomy for ductal invasive carcinoma. CE is the clinical manifestation of dissemination of neoplastic cells in the cutaneous lymphatic vessels; thus it as a very poor prognosis despite all therapies.File in questo prodotto:
