Painful ulcerated reticulated plaques of the breasts in a young woman

Abstract

A 30-year-old woman presenting with chronic, painful, ulcerated reticulated plaques unresponsive to topical corticosteroid therapy. Histopathology demonstrated a diffuse proliferation of bland dermal capillaries consistent with a reactive angioproliferative process. This case highlights the importance of clinicopathological correlation and early recognition of this condition, as surgical intervention addressing the underlying ischemia offers the most effective and durable treatment.
