Metastatic skin carcinoma, A Report on a Rare case
Authors
Abstract:
SUMMARY Development of metastatic deposits in skin indicates that the cancer is disseminated, and reveals a poor prognosis.but rarely, it is possible for cutaneous metastasis to be the first clinical manifestation of an occult internal malignancy. Unfortunately, a few of cutaneous metastatic deposits have characteristic clinical appearance, that may suggest the possibility of metastasis in differential diagnosis of a lesion. We report a rare case of specific metastasis of skin (infiltrative. sclerodermoid type) together with nonspecific miliaria like eruption, being the first clinical manifestation of an undifferentiated carcinoma of stomach in patient.
