DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Lymphogenic or hematogenic metastasis of malignancies to other organs. Distinctions are made between:
- Skin metastases or cutaneous metastases
- Lymph node metastases
- distant metastases
For dermatological practice, metastases of internal malignancies are of great differential diagnostic importance, even if they differ clinically-morphologically in the fewest cases. Skin metastases occur in about 1-2% of patients with metastatic tumors.
