Cutaneous Lymphangitis Carcinomatosis Metastasis of Extra-ovarian Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma

© 2012 The Authors. doi: 10.2340/00015555-1450 Journal Compilation © 2012 Acta Dermato-Venereologica. ISSN 0001-5555 Skin metastasis of ovarian carcinoma is rare (1). Some cases show umbilical metastasis, known as Sister Mary Joseph’s nodule (2). Other cutaneous metastases of ovarian carcinoma include pilomatricoma-like (3) and cauliflower-type (4) variants. Only one case of nodular cutaneous metastasis of extra-ovarian primary peritoneal papillary serous carcinoma (EOPPC) (5) has been reported previously (6). We report here a case of cutaneous lymphangitis carcinomatosis secondary to underlying EOPPC.
