    Author: Inoue Y, Johno M, Kayashima K, Kako H, Ogawa M, Ono T.
    Journal: Br J Dermatol; 1996 Oct; 135(4):634-7. PubMed ID: 8915163.
    Abstract:
    We report a 64-year-old Japanese man who developed metastatic skin cancer, in the form of 1-3 cm diameter dome-shaped tumours on his face and head. Histopathological examination demonstrated diastase-resistant periodic acid--Schiff and Alcian blue-positive signet ring cells, suggesting gastric carcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining showed that these cells were positive for carbohydrate antigen CA19-9.
