Cutaneous metastases from a leiomyosarcoma of the testicular tunica albuginea are very rare. Primary leiomyosarcomas in this site are uncommon and furthermore cutaneous metastases develop only in 1,4% of all malignant tumors of the internal organs [10]. A 71 year old patient with such a sarcoma underwent primary excision. Nine months later multiple, firm, nodules were identified as cutaneous metastases. Further staging revealed already extensive, diffuse pulmonary and bony metastases without contiguous or regional lymph node involvement.

“…Cutaneous scalp metastasis as the first indication of a clinically silent retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma and of its further relapse as metastatic widespread disease A 77-year-old man presented with an enlarging, 2.5 × 1.5 cm, well-defined, hard, scalp nodule mimicking a nodular basal-cell carcinoma. Cutaneous metastasis from retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma is rare, since only 8 cases have been reported so far [2][3][4][5]. Surgical excision was performed.…”

“…No other similar lesions were detected on the skin. In all the reported cases, cutaneous metastases were observed together with metastases to internal organs [2][3][4][5]. Histopathological examination revealed a well-demarcated dermal-hypodermal nodule ( figure 1A), composed of spindle cells showing elongated nuclei with blunt ends ( figure 1B).…”
