Abstract
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.
