Carcinoma erysipelatoides (CE) is an erysipelas like condition resulting from cutaneous metastases and lymphatic dermal occlusion with metastatic cells of internal malignancies. Although, most commonly it occurs due to breast carcinoma, it may also be associated with other carcinomas such as gastric malignancy. Here, we present a 55-year-old male with CE, who has erythematous indurated plaques in the left pectoral area and associated with a gastric adenocarcinoma. This
is the first case of CE associated with gastric adenocarcinoma in the Turkish dermatological literature.
