“…A similar identification of 40% primary tumors was demonstrated with PET/computed tomography (CT) but with the concurrent advantage of less incorrect positive results (101). On the contrary, PET examinations in the staging of internal metastases yield the detection of cutaneous metastases (135).…”

Cutaneous metastases of internal malignancies still seem to occur infrequently, although medical publications report an incidence rate of up to 10.4%. Common sense, however, fosters suspicion that we might underdiagnose the problem distracted by harder striking facets of an advanced disease. With contemporary knowledge, morphology and behavior of cutaneous metastases resemble each other regardless of the site of origin. This article itemizes clinical presentations according to organ systems, specific features, and differential diagnoses. In general, the survival turned out to be less than 12 months. But incremental awareness of cutaneous metastases proclaims this paradigm insufficient. Although excision is the local treatment of choice, investigations attempt to propose tumor-specific chemotherapeutic/immunological approaches. This paper endeavors to critically review the state of the art concerning the clinic, prognosis, and therapeutic concepts.

Multiple distant nodular cutaneous metastases from carcinoma breast is a very rare entity. In the English literature few references are present about this subject. Here we present a case of distant nodular cutaneous metastasis from carcinoma breast. KEYWORDS: Carcinoma breast, distant cutaneous metastasis. INTRODUCTION:Distant Cutaneous metastasis from carcinoma breast is a very rare entity. Often, the direct invasion of the anterior chest wall and/or local infiltration presenting as skin metastasis, although rarely seen in an area outside of the chest wall. Scalp involvement is very rare in breast cancer. (1,2) We report a case of distant nodular cutaneous metastasis to scalp over frontal region and skin over the neck from carcinoma of left breast without local breast skin or chest wall involvement and without clinically palpable axillary lymph nodes.

“…Cutaneous metastasis is an unusual site. It can occur either via lymphatic or hematogenous spread, and is commonly seen in the head and neck regions, as well as the trunk and extremities (3,5,9,10). The most common site of metastasis is reported as the chest, which was involved in 28.4% of metastatic lesions (3,11).…”

Cutaneous metastasis from internal malignancies are rare with a reported incidence between 0.7% and 10%. The most common tumor that metastasize to the skin is breast cancer. We present a 53-year-old woman with a history of bilateral breast cancer who underwent FDG-PET/CT for re-staging, which demonstrated isolated cutaneous and subcutaneous chest wall metastases. Histopathologic verification confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma invasion of the dermis and the lymphatic vessels.
