Cutaneous metastases--an uncommon and unusual mode of presentation of gastric carcinoma.
Cutaneous and oral mucosal metastases from gastric carcinoma are very uncommon. It is even more uncommon and unusual to have a patient with gastric carcinoma whose mode of presentation is that of "skin nodule" (cutaneous metastases). We report one such patient, who was first seen in a skin clinic, then in a dental clinic, and finally was referred to a medical clinic. Current literature on cutaneous metastases of gastric carcinoma is reviewed in this case report.
