Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare primary gastrointestinal malignancy. We present a 60-year old man who developed a cutaneous metastasis of jejunal adenocarcinoma to his neck. This case highlights the clinicopathologic and immunophenotypic features of this uncommon cutaneous metastasis.

The small bowel is the most common site of gastrointestinal metastasis from cutaneous melanoma. Malignant melanoma has a poor prognosis, especially if distant metastases appear. Although rare primary melanoma of the small bowel has been described, more frequently these lesions originate from unknown cutaneous melanoma. Here we report the case of a 58-year-old man with a diagnosis of melanoma of...

OBJECTIVE AND CONCLUSION We report a 69 year-old lady with advanced prima...

Cutaneous metastasis develops in 5 to 10 percent of high-stage cancer patients. About 6 percent of cutaneous metastases are caused by renal cell carcinomas (RCC). A 64-year-old man presented with a 4-month history of a rapidly enlarging lesion on the mental region. There was a 2 cm x 3 cm multilobular and polypoid angiomatous tumor in the center of the swelling. Histopathologic examination reve...

Metastatic ovarian cancer uncommonly presents with skin metastasis. When present, skin metastases of ovarian cancer are usually localized in the vicinity of the primary tumor. We report a case of a 58-year-old woman with a rapid growing erythematous, well-defined nodule localized on the left nasal ala. A skin biopsy was performed and histopathological and immunohistochemical findings were compa...

Although skin metastasis from a malignant tumor of an internal organ usually occurs at an advanced disease stage, there has been no prior report of a cutaneous acral metastasis from ampullary carcinoma to date. We report a 71-year old male patient with cutaneous metastasis from an ampullary adenocarcinoma. The patient had a history of pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy for carcinoma of ...
