title: [Cutaneous metastases. Clinical pathological review].
abstract: Cutaneous metastases may be the first clinical manifestation of a visceral carcinoma, its incidence fluctuates between 0.7 and 9% of the carcinomas and normally indicate a dismal prognosis. The most frequent morphologies of cutaneous metastases are metastatic nodules, sclerotic forms that appear as infiltrated and stiff plates, the inflammatory variety that resembles an erysipelatous plate, mammary and extra-mammary Paget's disease that appear as erythematous erosive and crusty plates resembling dermatitis.
