Cutaneous metastasis from internal malignancies are rare with a reported incidence between 0.7% and 10%. The most\udcommon tumor that metastasize to the skin is breast cancer. We present a 53-year-old woman with a history of bilateral\udbreast cancer who underwent FDG-PET/CT for re-staging, which demonstrated isolated cutaneous and subcutaneous chest\udwall metastases. Histopathologic verification confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma invasion of the dermis and the lymphatic\udvessel
