A Case of Cutaneous Metastasis from Small Cell Cervical Carcinoma / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Cervical cancer is the seventh most common malignancy in women. But, not many cases of cutaneous metastasis have been reported. We report a cases of a 45-year-old woman presenting with multiple erythematous nodules on the right flank. She had small cell cervical cancer with multi-organ metastasis, including the pancreas, lymph nodes, and lung. A skin biopsy revealed small cell cancer features throughout the dermis, and immunohistochemical tests were positive for chromogranin and synaptophysin. Based on these clinical and histopathological findings, we concluded that her condition was skin metastasis at the right flank from cervical cancer, which occurs very rarely.
