Abstract

Cutaneous metastases are produced by the proliferation of cells from a malignant tumor located at a
distance, having prognostic and therapeutic implications. Cutaneous metastases of paragangliomas are a
rare entity, which present varied clinical manifestations, histopathology with a Zellballen pattern and a
specific immunohistochemistry that helps define the tumor lineage.
We present the case of a patient with Von Hippel Lindau disease with cutaneous metastatic paraganglioma
and good clinical response to chemotherapy.
