Cutaneous Metastatic Disease

Cutaneous Metastatic Disease: Case Series in a Tropical Setting

“…Development of extensive cutaneous metastatic disease as demonstrated in the patient with metastatic olfactory neuroblastoma while under treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy represents failure of current treatment and possibly an indicator of poor prognosis. A similar phenomenon has been described with gastric carcinoma with cutaneous metastases on the head, neck, axilla, chest and upper limb [13]. Late presentation with attending complications is a common event in our setting.…”

Retrospective review of cutaneous metastasis among 11,418 patients with solid malignancy

“…The prevalence of CM in our study was low (0.3%), compared with previous reports in Caucasian populations (0.5%-9.0%). [1][2][3][4][5][6] Nevertheless, this prevalence was similar to that in other Asian countries, including Taiwan (1.02%) [8] and India (0.5%). [9] It may have been affected by differences in frequency of primary tumors, sex, age, and ethnicity.…”

Cutaneous metastases from different internal malignancies: a clinical and prognostic appraisal

“…Therefore, although the most frequent primary tumours encountered are different, the origins of skin metastases seemed similar among these two ethnic populations. Previous reports have suggested that the relative frequencies of cutaneous metastases from different internal organs parallel the overall incidence of the various primary malignancies 6,11,12 . However, we found that certain cancers commonly seen in Taiwan, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (which has a higher incidence than breast or lung cancer in Taiwan), 20 carcinoma of the bladder and ureter, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and cervical cancer rarely gave rise to cutaneous metastases.…”
