The most common metastatic sites liver, the peritoneal surfaces, and the non regional or distant lymph nodes. Case report: In this case we report the short-term survival of a 67-year-old man complined of multiple nodular lesions in various part of his skin. Histology showed a metastatic signet ring cell adenocarsinoma. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed and a crater- like ulcer, about 3 cm in diameter, was observed on the anterior part of the stomach corpus distal. A biopsy specimen was obtained, and histopathological findings were consistent with gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma. XELOX chemotherapy regimen was initiated for the patient. Conclusion: Skin metastasis of gastric adenocarcinoma is a rare condition with a poor prognosis. It may be the first manifestation of a clinically silent visceral cancer or may represent a recurrence of an internal malignancy.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNodular lesionSignet-ring cell gastric carcinomaSkin metastasisreport5341135113710.1007/s12029-021-00747-2N/AWOS:0007192584000012-s2.0-85119052625PMID: 34786642N/A
