ABSTRACT

Cutaneous metastases from primary tumors of solid organ are a rare event in daily practice of dermatology, its incidence is of 0.7 to 9% of patients with cancer; their clinical significance lies in it is an indicator of advanced disease stage, or the first sign of recurrence. Any tumor has the ability to skin metastasis. Skin metastasis may be the first clinical finding, or a sign of recurrence or end-stage disease. The role of the dermatologist for a patient with skin metastases of an unknown internal cancer is very important, since it might be the first physician to make the diagnosis of the primary tumor.
