Cutaneous manifestations may develop before an internal malignancy is recognized. Sometimes the skin lesion contains the tumor, through metastatic (lung cancer nodules) or local spread (Paget disease of the breast), direct infiltration by circulating tumor cells (lukemia cutis), or may be the primary site (Kaposi sarcoma in an HIV patient). At other times, findings are distant manifestations that provide clues to diagnosis.
