Abstract
- Cutaneous metastasis is an indicator of the terminal stage in almost all internal cancers. Therefore, many patients give up its therapy. However, aggressive therapy is needed at this stage because some patients respond to this anticancer therapy. We report a case of partial remission of metastatic skin carcinoma due to gastric cancer in a 26-year-old female after anticancer therapy. She presented with a 7 month history of multiple erythematous nodules on the abdominal wall. She had previously been diagnosed as stomach cancer with Krukenberg tumor and peritoneal metastases, and had undergone a total gastrectomy, peritonectomy, hysterectomy and oophorectomy 1 year earlier. After administration of combination chemotherapy (cisplatin, irinotecan), her skin lesions gradually flattened and disappeared. Metastases on other sites were not found for 4 months.
