Invasive SCC located on breast skin is a rare entity and may clinically mimic breast cancer. We report a case of a 39 years old female with a non-eroded, vegetative, growing lesion on the right breast skin, initially mimicking breast cancer both clinically and histopathologically. After surgery with clear margins, adjuvant radiotherapy was administered, by considering the pathological risk factors for recurrence. At 14 months, the patient is disease-free and under regular follow-up. Invasive SCC of the breast skin is a rare entity and may have different etiology/behavior or directly develop de novo when compared to SCCs located on sun-exposed skin. Medical history and physical examination in conjunction with histopathological examination of the biopsy specimen are critical for the accuracy of the diagnosis and the correct treatment decision in patients presenting with a mass invading breast skin. </div>}, number={3}, publisher={Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi}
