Résumé
A 69-year-old woman with invasive ductal breast cancer (BC) presented multiple asymptomatic alopecic areas of the scalp. Trichoscopy revealed peripheral black dots (BDs) and an atypical vascular pattern. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of BC metastases. Cutaneous and scalp metastases are a possible sign of advanced and widespread BC, and the diagnosis may be challenging. The trichoscopy of scalp metastases has never been described. BDs and an atypical vascular pattern in our case were a diagnostic clue.
