Gynecologic Oncology Case Reports - Management of a skin metastasis in a patient with advanced ovarian cancer

 Highlights
► Skin metastasis of ovarian cancer is rare, often nodular in appearance, and conveys a poor prognosis.
► This patient developed an unusual maculo-papular rash which was biopsy-proven to be metastatic endometrioid adenocarcinoma.
► Pruritic symptoms from skin metastases should be palliated; SSRIs, local radiation, and topical creams all may play a role.
