Abstract
Metastases to the skin from internal malignant neoplasms are uncommon and often preterminal event. Cutaneous metastases from an adrenal cort ical carcinoma have rarely been reported even in the advanced stages o f the disease. A patient was initially seen with a small cutaneous les ion on the cheek and was found to have a large adrenal cortical tumor. Histologic comparison proved that the cutaneous lesion was a metastas e from an adrenal cortical carcinoma.
