We report a 58-year-old woman with cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma arising on the chest treated with Mohs micrographic surgery. The patient remained tumor-free at 24-month follow-up. To date, only six other cases of cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma were reportedly managed by Mohs surgery. Cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma has low potential for distant metastasis but is notorious for its a...

In spite of debates, minimally invasive radical distal pancreatosplenectomy is carefully thought to be safe and effective in well selected left-sided pancreatic cancer. Several significant literatures are demonstrating that it can result in comparable oncologic outcomes of conventional open distal pancreatectomy. It is general that patients with resected pancreatic cancer experience systemic me...

We herein report a rare case of gastric and regional lymph node metastasis of cutaneous malignant melanoma that underwent curative resection. The patient, a 68-year-old man, was first diagnosed as having cutaneous malignant melanoma of the right forearm in 2005. He had extensive skin excision and axillary lymph node dissection and had undergone adjuvant chemotherapy. Six years after the primary...

Lymph node metastasis from cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is uncommon. The popliteal fossa is rarely involved with metastasis. Popliteal lymph node dissection is uncommonly performed and not frequently discussed in the literature. We present a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the heel with popliteal and inguinal metastasis. This is followed by a description of the relevant anatomy of the p...

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is the most common fibroblastic tumor, but its cutaneous metastasis, especially in-transit metastasis, is extremely rare. We describe the case of a 30-year-old Japanese man with a recurrent MFH on the scalp accompanied by in-transit metastasis, which had been treated as a benign skin tumor 8 years before. The main bulk of the recurrent tumor was located in t...

Gastric cancer is the 5th most frequent cancer around the world and the 3rd most frequent reason of deaths due to cancer. Every year, about 1 million new cases are taking place, with varying geographical distribution. Gastric cancer is often metastatic to liver, lungs, and bones in hematogenous way, to peripheral lymph nodes in lymphogenous way, and to peripheral tissues in adjacency way, yet b...

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...

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers and cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. Cutaneous metastasis of cervical cancer, however, is exceedingly rare. It is generally seen late in the disease course and portends a poor prognosis. Herein we report a woman with a history of recurrent cervical cancer complicated by an unusual occurrence of metastasis to the vulva.

The common sites for metastasis of renal cell carcinoma are lung, kidney, adrenal glands, liver, and contralateral kidney. We report an unusual case of cutaneous metastasis of renal cell carcinoma in a 68-year-old woman who was treated for renal cell carcinoma with partial right nephrectomy and multikinase angiogenesis inhibitor (sunitinib) 10 years ago.

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 ...
