J Am Acad Dermatol. 1993 May;28(5 Pt 2):866-9. doi: 10.1016/0190-9622(93)70120-i.

Abstract

Cutaneous metastasis from gastric carcinoma is uncommon. We describe a patient with a metastasis from gastric carcinoma to a congenital melanocytic nevus. The diagnosis was confirmed by positive immunohistochemical staining for cytokeratin 20 and lack of cytokeratin 7.
