The lesion had progressed to involve the left chest, neck, and arm, and 3 months later, evolved into brown to light purplish hard plaque mimicking the feature of scleroderma. A skin biopsy findings were consistent with metastatic carcinoma, and neck MRI and thyroid sonogram revealed primary thyroid cancer of left lobe.
