ABSTRACT
Skin lesions can sometimes be the presenting sign of metastatic cancers. We report a case of skin metastasis resembling pyogenic granuloma from hepatocellular carcinoma, which is a common malignancy in Korea. A 79-year-old male presented with a 1 month history of a dark-reddish nodule on his left cheek, which was thought to be pyogenic granuloma. On histopathologic examination, it was composed of tumor cells and intervening sinusoids and therefore showed characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma. We confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma upon abdomen computer tomography. We present this case along with a review of previous reports of cutaneous metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma.
