Excluding the potential for age and gender bias in this study conducted in a VA setting, cutaneous metastases represent an uncommon, deadly, and late-developing occurrence in many patients. Compared with previous studies, lung carcinoma remains the most common of the cutaneous metastases, with a relative rise in the incidence of metastatic melanoma. The immunohistochemical battery of CK-7, CK-20, and S-100 is a helpful adjunct in narrowing the differential diagnosis of the primary site of a large proportion of cutaneous metastases, particularly tumors with an epithelioid appearance such as carcinomas and melanomas.

“…Metastasis to scars after surgical and diagnostic procedures is a well-recognized phenomenon. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] One of those cases details previously undiagnosed adenocarcinoma of the lung metastatic to the electrodesiccation and curettage site of basal cell carcinoma that was performed 3 months earlier. 10 Each of these instances, however, differs from the current cases in that they were clinically noticeable.…”
