GASTRIC ADENOCARCINOMA PRESENTING AS CUTANEOUS METASTASIS
Keywords:
gastric adenocarcinoma, cutaneous metastasis, nodules
Abstract
Skin is an uncommon site for metastasis of visceral malignancies. Cutaneous metastasis from gastric adenocarcinoma is very rare with variable presentations ranging from ulcers to nodules suggesting a poor clinical outcome with limited treatment options. These lesions may present as the first symptom of an internal malignancy or may develop later in the disease process. We report a case of multifocal and multiple cutaneous metastases in a patient with gastric adenocarcinoma.
