J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol. 2005 Sep;19(5):593-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1468-3083.2005.01205.x.

Abstract

Cutaneous metastases from breast adenocarcinoma are usually nodular, single or multiple. Their zosteriform distribution is very rare. We present a 54-year-old woman with cutaneous zosteriform nodular metastases on the right side of her thorax, and infiltration of the corresponding arm, 3 months after the excision of adenocarcinoma of her right breast.
