BACKGROUND: Skin metastases are present in 1-9% of @entity5 @entity1 . In rare cases, skin metastases can manifest as lesions with signs of @entity32 and are diagnosed as inflammatory cutaneous metastases (ICM). ICM in @entity2 are extremely rare and often misdiagnosed. @entity1 AND METHODS: We report on a 55-year-old @entity1 with metastatic @entity2220 and bone metastases in the axial skeleton and left humerus diagnosed in August 2008. He underwent 6 cycles of palliative chemotherapy with @entity900 and @entity136 , obtaining a minor response. Five months later, he experienced increasing @entity158 in his left arm, with erythematous @entity75 with poorly defined margins and an inflammatory appearance. A diagnosis of @entity272 was made and he was treated by antibiotic therapy without improvement. RESULTS: Skin biopsy revealed skin infiltration by poorly differentiated @entity189 compatible with a primary @entity5 . He was started on second line therapy with @entity1205 , however, the @entity1 's status deteriorated rapidly and he died two months after the first appearance of ICM. CONCLUSION: @entity2 could be one of the causes of @entity272 in @entity5 @entity1 and these metastases should be considered in @entity5 @entity1 with persisting @entity75 with signs of @entity32 and no response to antibiotic therapy.
