%X Background: The severity of breast dermatoses is related to the existence of an underlying malignant neoplasia with a risk of mastectomy that involves both vital and functional prognosis. The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiological, clinical and etiological aspects of breast dermatoses in Dakar. Materials and methods: It was a multicenter descriptive study over a 6-month period in three departments in Dakar. All patients who were referred for dermatosis localized only in the breast were included in this study. Results: We collected 125 cases, a hospital frequency of 1.02%. The sex ratio was 0.016. The average age was 45 years [16 -79 years]. The dermatoses of the breast were tumoral in 92 cases, infectious in 25 cases and immuno-allergic in 8 cases. The tumoral pathologies were malignant in 90 cases and benign in 2 cases. Metastases were pulmonary (32 cases), ganglionic (29 cases), hepatic (14 cases), bony (13 cases), renal (1 cases) and cerebral (1 cases). The treatment was etiological with topical corticosteroids, antibiotics and antifungals. The different treatments for the tumors were surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and radiotherapy. A cure was noted in 26 cases (20.8%) and one death in 6 cases. Conclusion: We report a high prevalence of breast cancer in adult women and the occurrence of mastitis and puerperal breast abscess in young women and a high frequency of allergic contact dermatitis during atopy.
