Abstract:
A 71-year-old man developed metastatic cutaneous nodules of colon carcinoma on the scalp and chest wall. Histopathological findings revealed aggressive invasion of the tumor cells into the overlying epidermis (epidermotropic carcinoma); they occasionally adhered to the epidermal cells. These morphological features have not been described in cutaneous metastases from internal carcinomas.
