we describe, the first case of phenobarbital-induced dress syndrome presenting as a lichenoïd eruption. a 49-year-old man had received phenobarbital for a cerebral metastasis. twenty-five days later, he developed a purplish skin eruption, odynophagia, oral mucosal erosion and fever. physical examination revealed a cervical lymphadenopathy and facial edema associated to a diffuse violaceous macu...

Whole-body optical imaging is an external and noninvasive procedure that enables the continuous visual monitoring of malignant growth and spread within intact animals. The human colon adenocarcinoma cell-line HCT-15 was transfected with a pIRES 2-EGFP vector, and stable enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) expression was established (Fig.1). Approximately 10(6) HCT-15 EGFP stable transfec...

To the Editor: In a recent Cutis® article, Cesaretti et al1 reported a case of cutaneous metastasis from primary gastric cancer that appeared on a resection scar 6 years after remission and without any relapse of the primary tumor. We report a case of a 68-year-old man who was referred to the dermatology clinic with a 1520-cm nonpruritic, nonscaly, bruiselike lesion on the right forearm of 1 m...

Clinical cases of distant metastasis basal cell skin cancer are extremely rarely described in the international publications. This is probably due to specific locally advanced growth this histological type tumor, as well improvement radical treatment methods for group patients. However, despite development both diagnostic research and tactics, a large number patients, especially when primary tu...

Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare primary malignancy of the biliary tree, which usually presents late in course disease with jaundice, upper right quadrant pain, and cachexia. They frequently metastasise lungs, liver, bones, adrenals, peritoneum, retroperitoneal lymph nodes. The incidence cutaneous dissemination from cholangiocarcinoma extremely rare, scalp being commonest distant site skin metastas...

Introduction: Although cervical carcinoma is common, cutaneous metastasis from this tumor is rare. The reported incidence rates of skin metastasis from cervical cancer range from 0.1% to 1.3%. The major histological subtype of cervical carcinoma is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), accounting for 75% of cases. The remainder are classified as adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous cell carcinoma, or are of ...

BACKGROUND Cutaneous metastasis from colorectal cancer after excision of the primary is a rare occurrence and presents as cutaneous or subcutaneous nodules or as a rash commonly on the anterior abdominal wall. CASE PRESENTATION This is a case description of the management of a large fungating peristomal cutaneous metastasis occurring 14 years after abdomino-perineal excision of the primary ca...

Choroidal metastasis is rare in cancer patients. Small molecules of molecular targeted agents for lung cancer with actionable mutations were reported to be palliated for symptoms caused by choroidal metastasis. Visual disturbance by choroidal metastasis significantly decreases quality of life during the patient's remaining lifespan; therefore, radiotherapy or laser photocoagulation is proposed ...

Here we describe a breast cancer case from a 36-year-old female 4 months after delivery. During lactation, she had a painful large lump in the left breast, accompanied by erythema and edema of the 1/3 skin of the breast. Surgical biopsy confirmed that it was a case of invasive breast cancer without special type, grade 3, triple-negative/ basal-like subtype (ER-, PR-, HER2-, CK5&6+, EGFR+) and n...

BACKGROUND Prognosis of patients with loco-regional skin metastases has not been analyzed in detail and the presence or absence of concurrent lymph node metastasis represents the only established prognostic factor thus far. Most studies were limited to patients already presenting with skin lesions at the time of initial diagnosis. We aimed to analyze the impact of a broad penal of prognostic fa...
