Anterior abdominal wall cutaneous metastases detected by F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography in a patient with breast carcinoma.

Cutaneous metastases from internal malignancies are rare with a reported incidence between 0.7% and 10%. It may be the first symptom in 7% of the patients with cancer. We report a case with distant solitary skin metastases in anterior abdominal skin from breast cancer detected on F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging.
