Abstract
- Cutaneous metastases from internal malignancies are relatively infrequent. The frequency of cutaneous metastases varies from 0.5 to 4.4%. Most metastases are located in close proximity to the primary neoplasm. But, the scalp is a comparatively common site of cutaneous metastasis. Various types and sites of primary tumors have been reported to disseminate to the scalp. We report four cases showing scalp metastases which developed as nodules or alopecic patch, and discuss the tendency of metastases to the scalp from internal malignancies.
