Summary:Metastases to the skin from internal malignant neoplasms are uncommon and often preterminal event. Cutaneous metastases from an adrenal cortical carcinoma have rarely been reported even in the advanced stages of the disease.

Histologic comparison proved that the cutaneous lesion was a metastase from an adrenal cortical carcinoma.
