Accordingly metastatic breast cancer shown to be cutaneous through histology must be distinguished from a wide variety of other neoplasms as well as the diverse morphologic variants of breast cancer itself. Case presentation We report the case of a 61-year-old Caucasian woman with cutaneous metastases of a bilateral ductal breast carcinoma that in histopathological examination mimicked an adnexal neoplasm with sebaceous differentiation. Conclusion Against the background of metastatic breast carcinoma dermatopathological considerations of sebaceous differentiation of skin lesions are presented and discussed focusing on the rare differential diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma of the breast. Introduction Skin metastases of malignant tumors arise principally when the diagnosis of the primary cancer has been previously established and cutaneous metastases from internal malignancies are an infrequent although not totally rare phenomenon 1 . In contrast breast cancer is very common in women and its metastases frequently involve skin with cutaneous findings in about one quarter of breast cancer patients 2 . Cutaneous metastases of carcinomas are encountered in of all patients with cancer in general 3 . In the main skin .
