title: Perforating cutaneous metastasis from an ovarian adenocarcinoma.
abstract: Cutaneous metastasis from ovarian cancer usually presents clinically as firm papules and nodules on the trunk. Histology commonly exhibits a dermal infiltrate of malignant cells. In this report, we describe a peculiar presentation of perforating cutaneous metastasis from an ovarian carcinoma, which to the best of our knowledge has not been reported previously.
