Abstract
A 47-year-old female patient presented with painless skin colored and erythematous
papules coalesced to form plaques over lower abdomen for 10 days. She had undergone
exploratory laparotomy with hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy 1 month ago, and
histopathology was reported as Krukenbergs tumor. She was getting evaluated for primary,
when she was referred to dermatology. A clinical diagnosis of cutaneous infiltration
of tumor was made, and biopsy was done from a representative lesion which showed features
suggestive of metastatic poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. In the majority of
cases in the past, cutaneous metastasis is seen much later in the course of the disease.
High degree of suspicion and histopathology was helpful in the diagnosis of underlying
malignancy in our patient.
