Cutaneous metastases of internal malignancy are rare, and their incidence ranges from 0.7 to 9% among all cancers. They account for 2% of all skin tumors. They occur due to the growth of cancer cells in the dermis or subcutaneous cellular tissue, originating from internal neoplasia. Cutaneous metastasis arising from squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus is rare, accounting for less than 1% of cases. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus diagnosed after metastatic cutaneous manifestation in the abdomen that evolved to death due to disseminated metastatic tumor invasion.
