Cutaneous metastases from adenocarcinoma of the ovary
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Cutaneous metastasis is an uncommon manifestation of internal malignancy. The rate of cutaneous metastasis in ovarian cancer is 3.5%, andmedian time of survival after appearance of cutaneous metastasis is 4 months. The lesions involved are often described as flesh colored, pink, or violaceous cutaneous or subcutaneous nodules, although reports of non-nodular metastases exist. We report the case of a 24-year-old woman with refractory stage IIIB mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ovary presenting with cutaneous metastases to her breasts masquerading as localized scleroderma.
