Abstract:   (165489 Views)

Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world that can metastasize to other sites. The most common sites of metastasis are liver, lung, bone, and adrenal glands. Skin metastasis in gastric cancer is rare, and it usually occurs after diagnosis of primary cancer (1). The patient reported here is a 65-years old male with gastric adenocarcinoma that in the course of chemotherapy came down with some skin lesions. The biopsy report points to skin metastasis from gastric cancer. In spite of good systemic response to chemotherapy, the lesions progressed. Skin metastasis has poor prognosis, and it is a sign of disease diffusion (2).
