Cutaneous metastases of thyroid carcinoma are infrequent and, when present, are usually located in the vicinity of a widespread primary tumor. Breast metastases from these tumors are even less common. We report the case of a 64-year-old female with a toxic multinodular goiter in whom a fine-needle biopsy, performed in 1985 at the age of 52, was suggestive of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. ...

Cutaneous metastasis from gastric adenocarcinoma is an infrequent disease entity. When present, it typically signifies disseminated disease with a poor prognosis. We report a case of a 57-year-old male patient with gastric cancer who developed generalized erythematous nodules on the chest, abdomen, back, neck, and four extremities 2 months postoperatively. Results of a skin biopsy disclosed gro...

Cutaneous metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma is extremely rare. It can be seen at distant locations or at the site of biliary drainage. To the best of our knowledge less than 30 cases have so far been reported in the English literature. This event should be considered in every skin lesion in a patient with cholangiocarcinoma and be treated promptly by resection and chemotherapy to increase the pa...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To report a case of cutaneous malignant melanoma with cerebral metastasis found to have vitreoretinal metastasis upon referral for neovascular glaucoma. METHODS The clinical history and ocular examination findings, including histologic, cytologic, genetic, and immunohistochemical features of the vitreoretinal metastatic tumor, were reviewed. Additionally, the histologic and im...

adenocarcinomas have a higher occurrence to give rise to cutaneous scrotum metastases. The first case of cutaneous scrotum metastasis was reported in 1939. Until now, only 40 such cases had been published in the literature written in Chinese and English (Supplementary Table 1). The mean reported patient age was 55.5 years, range from 2 years old to 84 years old. The most frequent symptom was cu...

Background: Breslow thickness, ulceration, and mitotic rate are well-known prognostic factors for sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastasis. We investigated risk factors, including especially the degree of pigmentation, SLN metastasis, as well recurrence-free survival, in cutaneous melanoma patients. Objectives: enrolled 158, composed Korean 107 acral 51 non-acral patients who underwent biopsy. Meth...

Cutaneous metastases from bladder malignancies are rare. We report the case of a 74 year old man who underwent cysto-prostatectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy for a pT3b N+ bladder transitional cell carcinoma. Four months later, he presented with skin disseminated pigmented lesions. Skin biopsy confirmed cutaneous metastasis from urothelial carcinoma.

PURPOSE In conjunctival melanoma, tumor thickness and nonlimbal location are associated with poor prognosis. However, other established high-risk features for cutaneous melanoma, including ulceration, mitotic figures, epithelioid cell type, and lymphovascular invasion, have not previously been studied extensively for their prognostic value in conjunctival melanoma. We examined the hypothesis th...

We describe herein what is to our knowledge the first reported case of an invasive cutaneous metastasis with unknown primary, electively treated solely with electrochemotherapy. We describe a female patient with a large, invasive and painful lesion in her hypogastric region, extending up to the pubic area. The cutaneous biopsy and instrumental and laboratory analyses, all failed to reveal the p...
