title: [Skin metastases in prostatic cancer. Immunohistologic indications of the primary tumor].
abstract: Prostatic carcinoma accounts for about 1% of all cancers that metastasize to the skin. The regions most frequently involved are the genital region, the head and the trunk. Clinically the lesions present as nodules; less often diffuse infiltrates, red macules and papules or tumors of an angiomatous appearance occur. Histopathological examination of skin biopsy specimens can reveal gland-like, epithelial or anaplastic differentiation of tumor cells. Prostatic origin can be proven by the immunohistological demonstration of acid prostatic phosphatase or prostatic specific antigen in paraffin-embedded specimens taken for routine histological examination.
