Cutaneous Metastasis of Pancreatic Carcinoma Seen in the Left Gluteal Region and Axilla
Journal Title: Bagcilar Medical Bulletin - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is usually high-grade and metastatic when diagnosed. Skin metastasis is very rare and is usually found in the periumbilical area. Non-umbilical metastasis is extremely rare. Only 19 cases have been reported in the literature. Only one case in the buttock has been described: thus our case is the second one known. In this note, we present a cutaneous metastasis of a pancreatic cancer case that was admitted to the clinic with a mass each on the left buttock and in the left axilla, surgically treated for palliation. We include a review of the literature.
