Abstract

Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to the skin can be distinguished histologically from primary cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma as, unlike the latter, it is typically separated from the normal overlying squamous epithelium. Rare cases have been reported of cutaneous metastases of SCC that demonstrate continuity with the overlying benign squamous epithelium, termed "epidermotropic cutaneous metastases of SCC." We report the first case of epidermotropic cutaneous metastases of SCC originating from primary esophageal SCC with a review of the literature on this rare histological phenomenon.
