Abstract

Erysipelas carcinomatosum is a rare but severe manifestation of metastatic breast cancer. Although its diagnosis can generally be made unambiguously from the medical history, clinical appearance, and histopathologic picture, the therapy of inflammatory breast cancer remains challenging. Nevertheless, early diagnosis, management, and referral to an oncologist are most important for management of recurrent disease.
