lüll Cutaneous metastases from internal cancers Benmously R; Souissi A; Badri T; Ben Jannet S; Marrak H; Mokhtar I; Fenniche SActa Dermatovenerol Alp Pannonica Adriat 2008[Dec]; 17 (4): 167-70BACKGROUND: Cutaneous metastases (CMs) from carcinoma are relatively uncommon, being usually late events in the course of internal malignancies. CMs from internal tumors seen at a secondary dermatological centre in Tunis are reported. METHODS: A retrospective review of the available clinical records and histological material of all patients with CMs from internal malignancies was performed over a 14-year period. RESULTS: Fourteen cases of CMs were recorded: 8 males and 6 females. The age range was 53 to 96 years, with a mean of 63.5 years for males and 76.5 years for females. CMs represented the first indication of an internal malignancy in 64% of cases. Firm solitary or multiple nodules were the most relevant clinical presentation (93%). Preferred sites were the thorax (50%), the abdomen (29%), and the head and neck region (21%). The common sites of primary malignancy were the lungs (38%) in males and breast (33%) in females. Four out of 14 patients died within a short follow-up period (mean 9.5 months). DISCUSSION: CMs are relatively rare in patients with internal cancers, but they may be a presenting sign of such cancers.|Adenocarcinoma/pathology[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Aged, 80 and over[MESH]|Breast Neoplasms/pathology[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Head and Neck Neoplasms/secondary[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Lung Neoplasms/pathology[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Retrospective Studies[MESH]|Skin Neoplasms/*secondary[MESH]|Stomach Neoplasms/pathology[MESH] |
