چکیده
Skin metastasis is a rare manifestation of internal malignancy. Presence of cutaneous metastasis can be seen in 6.4% of all malignancy at some point in time. Cutaneous metastases as a presentation of upper gastrointestinal malignancy is far less common (<1%). Here we present a case of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the stomach that presented with extensive metastases of skin, liver and the ovaries, bilaterally. Skin metastasis as an initial manifestation of adenocarcinoma stomach is very rare. That’s why this case merits special attention.
