An unusual case of metastatic breast carcinoma metastasizing to an antecedent rhytidectomy procedural scar

Breast carcinoma remains the most common cutaneous metastasis in women.1 Although breast carcinoma can arise within mastectomy scars as a sign of locoregional recurrence, distant metastasis in the skin is a less common event. We report the case of a 58-year-old white woman with a history of infiltrative ductal carcinoma who presented with multiple cutaneous papules and nodules on the scalp and retroauricular region. A single metastatic focus uniquely occurred in a prior rhytidectomy scar on the left postauricular sulcus.
