title: Cutaneous metastases from gastric adenocarcinoma treated with combination chemotherapy producing complete response with long survival.
abstract: A case of cutaneous metastases from gastric adenocarcinoma was presented. It was treated with combination chemotherapy producing complete response with prolongation of survival. Skin metastasis will indicate early fatal termination, therefore there has not yet been a reported case of cutaneous metastasis from gastric cancer to have complete response with long survival.
