Description
Ricardo Fernández-Ferreira and co-authors describe a striking case of breast cancer that had spread to the skin and scalp. Their 2026 case report concerns a 68-year-old woman whose hormone-sensitive cancer produced many firm, dark, painless nodules across her body. Skin spread of this kind is uncommon, above all in her cancer subtype, and it usually marks late disease.
Since April 2024 she has taken ribociclib, a drug that blocks cell-cycle enzymes, together with letrozole, a hormone therapy. Over follow-up the nodules shrank across her body. By April 2026 most had vanished and skin color had largely returned to normal. The scalp lump cleared fully and hair grew back at the site. The authors say such paired therapy deserves more use and study in skin spread.
