Cervical cutaneous sclerosis: the stomach is not far from the skin

Abstract

Here in, we report a particular case presenting an erythematous and indurated plaque of the neck that has revealed gastric linitis plastic (GLP).

An 80‐year‐old man presented to the Department of Dermatology in November 2015 with a 2‐month history of a sclerotic inflammatory infiltration of the skin located on the anterior cervical region (Figure 1a, b) associated with a general impaired condition. Medical history revealed a partial gastrectomy for peptic ulcer 30 years ago. A punch biopsy specimen was performed, and the associated histologic findings are shown in the Figure 2a, b, c.
