cutaneous and subcutaneous metastases
Cutaneous and subcutaneous metastases are not uncommon, occurring in ~5% (range 0.7-10.4%) of internal malignancies, and representing 2% of skin cancers. The Sister Mary Joseph nodule is a well known cutaneous metastasis.
Pathology
These metastases can come from haematogenous or lymphatic spread, or may result from seeding from a surgical procedure. Underlying primary malignancies include :
- breast cancer (most common in females)
- malignant melanoma (most common in males)
- lung cancer
- colorectal carcinoma
- head and neck cancers
- ovarian cancer
- carcinoma of prostate
- renal cell carcinoma
- pancreatic adenocarcinoma
- endometrial carcinoma
- gastric cancer
- esophageal adenocarcinoma
- bladder carcinoma
- testicular germ cell tumor
- gallbladder adenocarcinoma
- choriocarcinoma (rare)
Radiographic features
Cutaneous and subcutaneous metastases can present as multiple small, usually <2 cm, masses or as a larger infiltrative mass .
