Abstract

The skin is an unusual location for metastases from visceral carcinoma, and cutaneous metastases from gastric carcinoma are rare. Cutaneous metastases display various clinical features, but usually occur as non-specific firm nodules. However, no cases of occult metastases from gastric carcinoma have been reported. We describe here a patient with clinically unapparent cutaneous metastasis from gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma that was diagnosed as an incidental finding in an excision performed for unrelated basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the upper eyelid.
