Summary
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) metastasis from breast cancer can be misdiagnosed but has a good prognosis with early detection. Timely chemotherapy effectively treated a patient's metastatic skin lesion.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology and Oncology
- Cutaneous Malignancies
- Cancer Metastasis
Background:
- Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a common non-melanoma skin cancer.
- cSCC can present as a primary tumor, a second primary cancer (SPC), or metastasis.
- Cutaneous metastasis (CM) is frequently misdiagnosed as benign skin lesions, complicating diagnosis and treatment.

Metastasis
5.5K
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
