The patient was a 68 year old woman who underwent lumpectomy and radiation for breast carcinoma in 1998. In 2001, she developed multiple, small (<1 cm) flesh-pink colored papules within the area of radiation several of which were biopsied. One lesion is depicted in images 1 and 2. Another lesion is depicted in images 3 and 4. The lesions persisted and increased in number necessitating a second set of biopsies in 2003. These lesions more closely resembled those depicted in images 3 and 4. Over the next 4 years she developed approximately 60 new lesions. A third set of biopsies was performed in 2007. At this time some of the lesions appeared red and raised. Following biopsy, a wide excision of the chest wall was performed. Images 5-7 are taken from the chest wall excision.
