AbstractWe report a case of breast cancer hemorrhage locally controlled with zinc chloride paste (Mohs' paste), which is usually applied as a fixative for 24 h before micrographic surgery of cutaneous neoplasms. A 73-year-old woman was suffering from continuous bleeding from an advanced right breast cancer; this bleeding stopped after 15 min by hemostatic treatment with Mohs' paste. Long-term hemostasis and decreased exudates were maintained by weekly treatment. Although radical operation and chemotherapy were recommended, she rejected both without hormone therapy. The tumor size has been locally controlled for 2 years. This rapid treatment with Mohs' paste is effective for controlling bleeding and breast tumor exudates without adverse events, and improves the patients' quality of life.
