ABSTRACT
Here, we report 2 cases of locally advanced breast cancer with uncontrollable bleeding treated with mastectomy followed by skin transplantation. The operation restored the QOL and enabled chemotherapy in postoperative periods. Case 1 A woman in her 70s was brought by an ambulance because of heart failure symptoms. She had a huge breast tumor on her left chest wall that bled repeatedly, necessitating frequent blood transfusions. An operation was performed, and chemotherapy was provided until she died of brain metastasis 1 year and 8 months after surgery. Case 2 A woman in her 70s was urgently hospitalized with a lumbar vertebrae bone fracture. She had a huge breast tumor on her right chest wall that bled repeatedly. Blood examination revealed severe anemia. An operation was performed, and chemotherapy was introduced sequentially. She is alive with a good status 2 years and 1 month after surgery.
