Abstract
- Cutaneous metastases originating from internal malignancy, including gastric adenocarcinoma, are uncommon. Although metastases may affect any cutaneous site, metastasis of the scrotum has very rarely been reported. It originates mostly from the kidneys and prostate. Carcinoma en cuirasse is a rare form of cutaneous metastasis characterized by a diffuse morphea-like induration of the skin. It is most commonly caused by breast cancer, but has occasionally been linked to the cancers of other organs. Herein, we report a rare case of carcinoma en cuirasse on the scrotum of a 53-year-old male patient, which developed from gastric adenocarcinoma.
