We report the case of a 78-year-old woman with small finger tip-sized reddish nodules in the skin of her chest wall. Her past history showed total gastrectomy for gastric cancer (T1N2MO: stage2) 17 months previously. Abdominal CT showed multiple lymph node enlargement in the right supraclavicular lesion and no evidence of any other organ metastasis. The biopsy of the skin lesion demonstrated a metastatic skin cancer of papillary adenocarcinoma. Therefore, we diagnosed this lesion as skin metastasis originating from adenocarcinoma of the stomach. Chemotherapy treatment with a combina-tion of TS-1 and Paclitaxel proved ineffective, and the patient died 3 months after the diagnosis of skin metastasis. Although the primary focus showed the early stage of gastric cancer, the cancer cells progressed via lymph tract in line with the nature of the lymph invasion. Moreover, the prognosis for the skin metastasis is poor, most cases have no treatment effect, and they die within 1 year. This case also followed a similar course.
