J Cutan Pathol. 2010 Dec;37(12):1251-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0560.2009.01480.x.

Abstract

Metastatic breast cancer of skin may be seen in a number of forms. It is rare to find it in association with a benign melanocytic nevus. We describe a patient with metastatic adenocarcinoma of breast within a benign melanocytic nevus and delineate this occurrence within the context of reviewing cutaneous breast metastatic disease.
