    This is the left breast of a woman in her 60s with breast cancer (fig 1). Five years previously she had received a diagnosis of herpes zoster of the T4 dermatome. The occurrence of a new skin disorder at the site of a previous herpetic eruption is referred to as Wolf’s post-herpetic isotopic response.1 The mechanism is thought to be altered immunosurveillance in the affected skin.
