[Cutaneous metastasis disclosing adrenal cortical carcinoma].

Metastases to the skin from internal malignant neoplasms are uncommon and often preterminal event. Cutaneous metastases from an adrenal cortical carcinoma have rarely been reported even in the advanced stages of the disease. A patient was initially seen with a small cutaneous lesion on the cheek and was found to have a large adrenal cortical tumor. Histologic comparison proved that the cutaneous lesion was a metastase from an adrenal cortical carcinoma.
