This paper reports the case of a 45‐year‐old female with histologically documented, multiple cutaneous metastases in the palmar and plantar surface of the fingers and toes originating from a breast adenocarcinoma after treatment with a docetaxel and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin regimen. The rarity of such a metastatic pattern from breast cancer and the eventual association with the chemotherapy administered are thoroughly discussed.
