Abstract
- We report two cases of cutaneous metastases originating from esophageal carcinoma. Case 1, about 0.5cm sized brownish round keratotic papule was detected 1 month ago on the left fifth finger tip in a 70-year-old man. Case 2, about 1.5 x 1.2cm sized ivory oval flat topped elevated nodule was detected 1 month ago on the lower lip in a 60-year-old man. Histologic examination of case 1 showed that dilated lymphatics contained tumor nests, some of which showed central necrosis. Case 2 showed tumor cell infiltration from upper dermis to mid dermis. Regardless of chemotherapy, both patients died after two and three months from the appearance of cutaneous lesions respectively.
