Metastases to the skin from internal tumors are uncommon, yet they
may be the first presentation of such malignancies. They usually
arise from the breast, lung and large bowel. Cutaneous metastases
from gastric adenocarcinoma are extremely rare. We report a case of
gastric adenocarcinoma that at presentation had multiple clinically
benign looking skin nodules. Fine needle aspiration cytology of the
cutaneous nodule revealed metastatic deposits. The current literature
on cutaneous metastases of gastric carcinoma is reviewed in this case
report.
