Carcinoma erysipelatoides originating from stomach adenocarcinoma.
Carcinoma erysipelatoides is an uncommon form of cutaneous metastasis, which is most commonly caused by breast carcinoma, it has rarely been linked to the primary cancers of other organs. We report a 36-year-old woman with carcinoma erysipelatoides originating from a gastric carcinoma. Immunohistochemical and morphologic studies of skin biopsies revealed that the signet ring cells in the dilated lymphatics originated from adenocarcinoma of the stomach.
