title: [The management of cutaneous metastases].
abstract: Cutaneous metastases are rare and usually signify a poor prognosis. The manifestation of cutaneous metastases is variable; crucial to their diagnosis is their inclusion in the differential diagnosis. The therapy occurs mostly with palliative intention. The quality of life of the patient should take first priority. A combination chemotherapy is usually carried out because of systemic progress. For local tumor control and wound care, metastasis surgery and radiotherapy are used.
