Description
The coexistence of breast cancer and scleroderma is a rare entity. A close temporal relationship between both diseases onset implies a possible etiopathogenetic correlation. We present the case of a 60-yearold woman with breast cancer that occurred three months after diagnosis of scleroderma. A review of the literature is also reported.
