Introduction: Telangiectatic cutaneous metastases are mostly associated with breast carcinomas. We report a case which was developed from a parotid tumour.
Case Report: A 63-year-old patient presented an erythematous, telangiectatic, rounded, cutaneous lesion of the cheek developed over a parotid tumour. Metastatic lymph nodes were observed in the drainage area of the tumour. Cutaneous histology revealed the presence of neoplastic cells in dermal vessels. After its surgical excision, histology of the parotid tumour showed an undifferentiated adenocarcinoma. Cutaneous lesions disappeared with chemotherapy.
Conclusion: Two similar cases of inflammatory and telangiectatic cutaneous metastases associated with parotid carcinomas were reported previously. This metastatic localization to the skin could be due to special anatomic conditions and perhaps to the similarity of some surface antigens between skin vessels and parotid carcinoma cells.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis disorder characterized by the proliferation of histiocytes within the lymph nodes. Extranodal involvement can occur; however, only 10% of extranodal RDD involve the skin. We present a unique case of a 66-year-old woman with cutaneous RDD followed by the development of multiple myeloma (MM).

Background: Mastocytosis is characterized by an accumulation of clonal mast cells (MCs) in tissues such as the skin. Skin lesions in mastocytosis may be clinically subtle or heterogeneous, and giving the correct diagnosis can be difficult.
Methods: This study compiles personal experiences together with relevant literature, discussing possible obstacles encountered in diagnosing skin involvement in mastocytosis and cutaneous mastocytosis (CM).

Telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans (TMEP) is a rare disease, previously classified as a variant of cutaneous mastocytosis. While no gold standard of treatment exists, several treatments have been studied. We report a case of a 63-year-old woman who presented with long-standing asymptomatic telangiectatic macules beginning on the upper chest, back, and bilateral arms, with occasional pruritus and no other systemic symptoms.
