    Electrocoagulation effectively controls symptomatic skin metastases with minimal anesthesia, good bleeding control, and reduced hospital stays. This technique offers satisfactory cosmetic results for patients with advanced cancers.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Dermatology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Cutaneous metastatic disease presents challenges in local control and patient comfort.
    • Traditional treatments may involve significant morbidity and hospitalization.

    Observation:

    • Electrocoagulation principles were adapted for managing symptomatic cutaneous metastases.
    • The technique was applied to two cases: metastatic malignant melanoma and metastatic leiomyosarcoma.

    Findings:

    • Electrocoagulation offers minimal anesthesia requirements.
    • The procedure provides excellent hemostasis (bleeding control).
    • It achieves satisfactory local control and cosmetic outcomes with reduced hospitalization.

    Implications:

    • Electrocoagulation represents a promising minimally invasive approach for cutaneous metastases.
    • This technique may improve patient quality of life by reducing treatment burden.
    • Further research into electrocoagulation for various metastatic skin conditions is warranted.
