Abstract: A 65-year-old male patient presented multiple cutaneous nodules on trunk and an erythematous inflammatory lesion resembling erysipelas on left side of neck.

Histopathologic examination of the stomach, along with the gastroscope, established that the cutaneous metastasis was of stomach origin.
