Abstract :
Carcinoma erysipeloides is a well-demarcated erythematous
plaque resembling erysipelas. Malignant cells are predominantly
within the dermal lymphatic vessels, with malignant thrombiinduced lymphatic obstructions causing the erysipeloid induration.
Carcinoma erysipeloides, as the first manifestation of breast
cancer, is very rare and accounts for about 2-5% of all cases.
