Abstract

We report a case of primary advanced breast cancer that was locally controlled by treatment with Mohs paste. A 57- year-old woman presented with right locally advanced breast cancer with massive exudate and oozing blood. Histopathological examination indicated an invasive ductal carcinoma. Moreover, the patient had lung, liver, and bone metastases. She received chemotherapy, following which the breast tumor was treated using Mohs paste and dissected. The bleeding and exudate stopped almost completely, and the breast tumor became flat. Therefore, it is suggested that locally advanced breast cancer could be controlled by treatment with Mohs paste.
