Abstract: Cutaneous metastasis from thyroid carcinoma is infrequent. Leukemia as a second malignancy after treatment of thyroid cancer is also rare. We present a patient with a relapsed thyroid carcinoma treated with thyroid ablation with I 131 and loco-regional radiotherapy, who consulted by global worsening, weight lost, and multiple cutaneous nodes. Our patient is unusual in that she showed multisystem involvement at the time of hospital admission, and the specific skin lesions were the first sign of her acute monocy… Show more

Background Noncutaneous cancers of the head and neck occasionally metastasize to skin. We present a case series of patients with skin metastases from non-cutaneous malignancies of the head and neck. A literature review is presented to assess the morphology, pattern of distribution, and morbidity of skin metastases. Methods Relevant cases were identified by a dermatopathologist and cases were reviewed. A literature search yielded 94 cases which were also included. Results The most common primary site, histology, and location of spread was the thyroid gland (42%), squamous cell carcinoma (42%), and scalp (25%) respectively. Skin metastases typically present as a discrete nodules, but the distribution varies. Metastases to skin can occasionally be a patients presenting complaint, but irrespective of timing of presentation portend a poor prognosis. Conclusion Skin metastases are clinically rare, and when present typically herald a poor overall prognosis. Information regarding their distribution and clinical presentation is of importance to the surgeon and oncologist. How to cite this article Emanuel H, Emanuel P.
