Abstract

A 66-years-old woman was referred to our hospital with the chief complaint of a huge exposed left breast mass, associated massive exudates, bleedingand foul-smelling discharge. Invasive ductal carcinoma was diagnosed by core needle biopsy. The computed tomography showed left axillary lymph node metastases and no distant metastasis. Her performance status(PS) was Grade 3. She had serious comorbidities such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and liver cirrhosis, renal dysfunction. DMpC therapy and Mohs paste therapy were started since her overall status was improved. The huge left breast tumor and left axillary lymph node metastases were reduced remarkably. Total mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection and free skin grafting was perfomed, and PS was improved to Grade 0, She received DMpC therapy for 4 months postoperatively, and radiotherapy at left chest wall and supraclavicular fossa.
