The authors present a case of a gastric adenocarcinoma in which the major manifestation was cutaneous metastases of the eyelids--in a review of the literature, no reports were found. Based upon this unusual case and in light of present knowledge, we decided to revise the concept of cutaneous metastases secondary to internal neoplasia, in particular, these with a gastric localization.
