Keywords: Gastric cancer, Skin metastasis, Early stage
Skin metastasis is an uncommon finding during the follow up of gastric carcinoma and if present, it is usually observed at the advanced stage of the disease. Herein, we present a 51-year-old man with stage I invasive gastric adenocarcinoma whose first metastasis occurred in the skin of the neck region eight months after the initial diagnosis. Eventually, the patient died 10 months after the diagnosis of skin metastasis because of intraabdominal recurrence of the gastric carcinoma.
