Two cases of inetastatic tumor of the skin were reported with literature review. One case, aged 67 years male, had a seven year history of multiple nolular lesions On the abdorninal wall. Histopathological findings were compatible with adenocarcinoma. Other case, aged 57 years male, who had a episode of subtotal gastrectomy, under dingnosis of stomach cancer four years ago, had a one and half year history of multiple nodular lesions on the face. Histopathological findings were compatible with fibrosis at first biopsy but confirmed with undifferential carcinoma after five months, These metastatic tumors of the skin were considered to be originated from the stomach in view of clinical and histopathological findings.
