Abstract
- Skin metastasis from internal malignancy is relatively rare. Skin metastasis from biliary tract cancer is known to be extremely uncommon (around 0.4~0.7%). In most cases, biliary tract cancer metastasizes into neighboring organs or other internal organs, but rarely into the skin. The authors have experienced a case of skin metastasis into a finger of a patient with carcinoma of Ampulla of Vater. This is thought to be the first case reported in Korea.
