ABSTRACT
Cutaneous metastases from internal malignancies are uncommon and a zosteriform pattern is very rare. Malignancies with zosteriform cutaneous metastases have their origin from skin cancers, vascular tumors, hematologic malignancies, and visceral neoplasia. We present the case of a 44-year-old female with zosteriform metastasis secondary to breast carcinoma. In our case, as in some of the cases from the literature, the patient was initially misdiagnosed clinically as having herpes zoster. Moreover, herpes viral infections are common in immunosuppressed patients and must be ruled out.
