Abstract:
Cutaneous metastatic tumors to the nasal tip are very rare. A 74-year-old woman presented with progressive dysphagia for 4 months and a painless red violaceous nodule in the nasal tip for the last 6 weeks. Gastroendoscopy showed midesophageal wall thickening, which corresponded to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma confirmed by endoscopic biopsy. F-FDG PET/CT showed intense FDG uptake of the esophageal carcinoma (SUVmax, 19.0) and the nasal tip nodule (SUVmax, 29.1). The patient underwent biopsy of the nasal tip nodule. Nasal tip metastasis from the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma was confirmed by pathologic examination.
