Disseminated cutaneous nodules revealing gastric carcinoma.
A 39-year-old Japanese male presented with multiple erythematous nodules on the head, face and trunk. Further investigations revealed a Borrmann type II gastric carcinoma and identified disseminated bone metastases. No other metastases of internal organs, including the liver and lungs, were clinically detected in this stage. This metastatic pattern is quite unusual.
