title: Cancer of prostate metastatic to the skin diagnosed by immunoperoxidase staining.
abstract: The authors present a case in which the diagnosis of prostate cancer metastatic to the skin was made by skin biopsy with immunoperoxidase stains for prostatic specific antigen and prostatic acid phosphatase. These are tests that should be performed when the location of the primary malignancy is not otherwise evident.
