Abstract:
The incidence of cutaneous metastasis from neoplasms of internal organs is uncommon, and in particular eyelid metastasis from gastric cancer is extremely rare. We report on such a case together with a review of a total of 6 cases. Of the 6 cases, 5 were males and 4 were pathologically low-grade differentiated adenocarcinoma. The presentation of eyelid mass was 3 nodular, 2 diffuse and one ulcerative without characteristics of its location. All the cases involved systemic disease and the effective treatment was not performed. We consider that the number of cases with eyelid metastasis from gastric cancer is actually much higher and that gastroenterologists should pay more attention to such cases in order to adequately grasp the pathogenesis.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
