Abstract
- Cholangiocarcinoma frequently metastasizes to several internal organs but rarely to the skin. We report a case of a cutaneous metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma in a 59-year-old female who had asymptomatic, firm, ulcerative nodules and papules on the scalp. She had been diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma 3 years earlier, and histopathologic examination of the cutaneous lesion showed well differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma.
