Abstract
- Metastasis to the skin from internal malignant neoplasms is an uncommon event. Although carcinoma of the ovary is the second most common malignancy in women, cutaneous involvement originating from ovarian cancer is particularly unusual. A 30-year-old woman had been treated with chemotherapy for ovarian cancer 4 years previously. She showed an erythematous indurated subcutaneous nodule on her left shoulder and scalp. Histopathologic findings showed multiple cribriform pattern cellular masses and some cords or tubular structures floating on a mucinous pool, which were similar to primary mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. We report this case of cutaneous metastasis from ovarian cancer.
