What would be your diagnosis in Case I?
Case 2:
- An 80-year-old patient presented with a two-year history of non-pruritic, steroid-responsive rash that primarily involved the bilateral breasts and flanks.
- It was biopsied on two previous occasions due to the patient’s concerns regarding possible cutaneous lymphoma.
- Shortly thereafter, a palpable 12 x 8 mm breast mass.
