Abstract

Cutaneous metastases from hepatocellular carcinomas are rare, and their diagnosis may be difficult on histological grounds. We report a case of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma to the skin that was confirmed immunohistochemically by the expression of a hepatomitochondria-specific antigen detectable on paraffin-embedded sections (Hep Par 1).
