Metastatic Skin Nodules -Is It Pointing Towards Aggressive Tumor Biology?
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Background: Cutaneous metastasis is one of the rare occurrence in clinical practice. Cases with skin metastases are diagnosed to have stage IV disease and curative treatment is not intended in most of the cases. Due to the ease of accessibility for clinical and pathological examination its diagnosis and treatment plays great value. Cases: Here we report nine cases with pathological diagnosis of skin metastases from different primaries from January 2015 to March 2016. Conclusion: Development of multiple skin metastases indicates poor survival and co-existence of extracutaneous metastases makes survival even worse. Thorough metastatic workup and evaluation is necessary. Treatment is mostly palliative
