“…Cutaneous metastasis of breast cancer has also been reported to occur in bruised skin (12). Cutaneous metastasis of lung carcinoma tends to occur in areas of skin frequently traumatized by injection needles (13) and cutaneous metastasis of uterine carcinoma has been reported to occur in irradiated skin (14). In an experi-mental model with mice, traumatized tissues were shown to attract metastatic cells in histopathology (15).…”

A case of cutaneous metastasis of renal cell carcinoma in a 67-year-old man is described. Right side nephrectomy had been performed three years earlier, and a renal cell carcinoma was diagnosed. Following a bruise, the patient noticed an erythematous nodule on the scalp. Histological examination of this skin lesion showed atypical tumor cells consisting predominantly of clear cells with a honeycomb-like or adenoid structure. Electron microscopic examination revealed that the tumor cells were divided into three groups: clear cells with abundant glycogen, dark cells with abundant mitochondria, and intermediate cells containing both glycogen and mitochondria in varying proportions. Some of the tumor cells with an adenoid pattern had a brush border-like structure in the lumen. These results support the diagnosis of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. An electron microscopic approach may aid in diagnosis of cutaneous metastasis from renal cell carcinoma.

Internal malignancies present with metastases to the skin 0.4% of the time. Cutaneous metastases not uncommonly develop in areas of damaged skin such as radiodermatitis and surgical scars. This report involves a 78-year-old male with metastatic adenocarcinoma from an unknown primary site that presented in a split-thickness skin graft donor site. This appears to be the first reported case of internal malignancy metastatic to skin altered by grafting.
