title: Zosteriform and epidermotropic metastasis. Report of two cases.
abstract: We report two cases of zosteriform metastasis to the skin. One patient had epidermotropic papulovesicular metastases from a presumed cutaneous adnexal neoplasm. The second patient had painful zoster-like papulovesicles from metastatic breast cancer. Previously reported dermatomal or zosteriform metastases are reviewed.
