Cutaneous metastasis from the esophagus is relatively rare. A case of 58-year-old male esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with skin metastasis is reported.
In this case, cutaneous metastasis appeared on the forehead 3 month after resection of stagel esophageal carcinoma. We performed pre-operation punch biopsy, but the origin of squamous cell carcinoma was obscure. After wide resection, we diagnosed it as metastatic skin cancer from its incontinuity to neighboring normal epithelium.
We suggest that excisional biopsy would be helpful for the differential diagnosis of metastatic skin cancer. [Skin Cancer (Japan) 2000; 15: 75-78]
