Carcinoid tumours are uncommon neuroendocrine neoplasms that may be found anywhere in the body but are most commonly seen in the gastro-intestinal and respiratory tracts. Metastasis to the skin occurs in a small proportion of these but primary cutaneous carcinoid tumours are exceedingly rare. There have been five previous cases of primary carcinoid tumours occurring in the skin. To our knowledge, this is the first report of metastasis from a primary cutaneous carcinoid tumour.
类癌肿瘤是一种罕见的神经内分泌肿瘤，可发生于身体的任何部位，但最常见于胃肠道和呼吸道。这些肿瘤中一小部分会转移至皮肤，但原发性皮肤类癌肿瘤极为罕见。此前已有5例原发性皮肤类癌肿瘤的病例。据我们所知，这是首例原发性皮肤类癌肿瘤转移的报告。
