Adenocarcinoma of oesophagus metastasising to the subcutaneous soft tissue.

Skin and subcutaneous metastases are uncommon, and mostly originating from cancers of the breast, kidney, colon, lung, and melanoma. Oesophageal cancers rarely metastasise to the skin and subcutaneous soft tissue. Skin and subcutaneous metastases are associated with dismal prognosis. Only few related case reports have been published so far. In this report, we describe a 52year old patient with lower oesophageal adenocarcinoma who developed subcutaneous metastasis, 9months after neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by trans-hiatal esophagectomy.
