Cutaneous Metastasis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

—Report of Two Cases and a Review of the Literature—

Abstract

We report two cases of cutaneous metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Case 1: A 62-year-old man presented with a reddish nodule on his right eyebrow. Case 2: A 67-year-old man presented with a cutaneous tumor on the chest. Both of them suffered from HCC for 10 years and for 3 months, respectively. They were referred to our clinic and the cutaneous lesions were excised. A histopathological examination revealed tumor cells which had similar characteristics to those of HCC. We review 24 cases of HCC previously reported in Japan.
