Abstract:
Primary cutaneous neoplasms of myoepithelial differentiation are uncommon. Cutaneous myoepithelial carcinomas are rare. We report a case of cutaneous myoepithelial carcinoma in a 47-year-old man with a history of end-stage renal disease and renal transplant 19 years prior who presented to the hospital with a 3-month history of diffuse bone pain and an ulcerated scalp mass with multiple satellite lesions. This case illustrates a rare instance of metastatic disease from primary cutaneous myoepithelial carcinoma.

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...
