Cutaneous metastases in the facial region occur in less than 0.5% of patients with metastatic cancer.
A 52-year-old woman who admitted with a lung and a skull skin nodule is presented. She had a known diagnosis of uterine leiomyosarcoma following an extended total hysterectomy two years ago. Excision biopsy of both nodules revealed metastatic disease.
The appearance of a cutaneous nodule in a patient with a history of uterine leiomyosarcoma might indicate a metastatic tumor lesion. Biopsy and immunohistochemistry are essential for correct diagnosis.

本文报告一名52岁女性,因肺部和颅骨皮肤结节入院。她两年前接受了广泛性全子宫切除术后被诊断为子宫平滑肌肉瘤。对两个结节进行切除活检,结果显示为转移性疾病。
有子宫平滑肌肉瘤病史的患者出现皮肤结节可能提示转移性肿瘤病变。活检和免疫组织化学检查对于正确诊断至关重要。
