The skin is an uncommon site of metastasis of the internal cancers. The majority of cutaneous metastases are\r\ndiagnosed after the primary cancer; but they can be the telltale sign of an unknown malignancy. They represent\r\na sign of poor prognosis with a survival rate not exceeding a few months. We report the results of a retrospective\r\nstudy conducted in department of medical oncology at Hassan II University Hospital, including 12 patients with\r\ncutaneous metastases. The aim of this work is to show the rarity of skin as metastatic site, to analyze the clinical\r\naspects of cutaneous metastasis, the most criminalized primary cancers and the prognosis value of this metastatic\r\nlocalization.
