Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Epidermotropic metastatic carcinoma is a rare form of cancer spread.
  • Understanding its varied origins and presentations is crucial for diagnosis.

Observation:

  • Four cases are presented: breast adenocarcinoma, large intestine adenocarcinoma (2), and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (1).
  • Cutaneous metastases presented as nodular lesions.
  • Histological examination revealed dermal and intraepidermal involvement, with one case showing folliculotropism.

Findings:

  • The study details the clinical and histological features of these rare metastatic skin lesions.
  • Varied histological patterns, including glandular structures and folliculotropism, were observed.
  • Literature review and differential diagnosis are discussed.
