Abstract
|
|
|
|
Cutaneous metastases of internal malignancies are rare and the incidence of metastatic skin lesions as the first symptom of disease is only 0.8% in patients of all malignancies. Furthermore, cutaneous metastasis from adenocarcinoma of the stomach has been found to be exceedingly rare. A 39-year-old woman presented with multiple, asymptomatic, erythematous nodules on her scalp and back. A biopsy taken from the nodule showed a signet ring cell type of adenocarcinoma. A gastroendoscopic examination and biopsy was done and showed the same histologic findings. The diagnosis of cutaneous metastasis of signet-ring cell gastric carcinoma was made. It is clinically worth reporting that the first symptom was skin lesions of the scalp and back.
