Abstract
- The occurrence of metastatic cancer from the gallbladder to the skin is uncommon and only less than ten cases of distant cutaneous metastases of gallbladder cancer have been reported in literatures. However, cutaneous implantation metastases of gallbladder cancer following laparoscopic cholecystectomy or percutaneous biliary catheter have been described more commonly than distant metastasis. We present herein a case of cutaneous implantation metastasis of gallbladder adenocarcinoma at the sites of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD).
