Abstract

A 65-year-old male patient presented multiple cutaneous nodules on trunk and an erythematous inflammatory lesion resembling erysipelas on left side of neck. Result of skin biopsies disclosed groups of metastatic adenocarcinoma cells in the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, and lumina of the lymphatic vessels. Histopathologic examination of the stomach, along with the gastroscope, established that the cutaneous metastasis was of stomach origin.
