ABSTRACT: Cutaneous presentation of gastric cancer is very rare. This case report
is about a patient with a metastatic gastric cancer in which the diagnosis was
made by a cutaneous biopsy. Following this unusual diagnostic tool, the patient
had an intracardiac thrombus, during the chemotherapy regimen, which wasn’t a
contraindication for pursuing chemotherapy treatment for over 12 months. This
case report is presented to make clinicians aware of a possible atypical sign
of presentation of gastrointestinal tract cancer, as well as the importance of
clinical suspicion of a well-known problem affecting cancer patients such as
venous thromboembolism and its repercussions in the treatment options.
