Cutaneous metastasis are frequently found in melanoma, breast cancer, or mucosal cancers of the head and neck.

A 55 year old male a known case of carcinoma oesophagus presented with one subcutaneous nodule over the left ala of nose, another was found incidentally on anterior abdominal wall below umblicus. FNAC from both nodules revealed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.
