Carcinoma en Cuirasse (CEC) is an extremely rare and dramatic form of cutaneous metastases (CM); characterized by a scleroderma-like clinical appearance. The skin is an uncommon site for distant metastasis; when it is present the most origin are breast, lung and colon. We report a rare case of CEC pattern of CM secondary to gastric malignancy in a 45-year-old male patient; the interesting part being that skin Metastasis was the first-presenting sign. which on further histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation led to the diagnosis of serious hidden gastric carcinoma.
