A 60-year-old female with no previous medical history presented with progressive left sided weakness. Examination demonstrated a large, fungating chest wall mass with mucopurulent drainage and necrotic odor. The patient stated this lesion was worsening for multiple years and was associated with a 90-pound weight loss; however, she was hesitant to seek medical care until the onset of weakness. Comprehensive imaging, biopsy, and tissue analysis revealed the wound was consistent with fungating triple-negative breast adenocarcinoma with lung and frontal lobe metastasis (Figure 1).
