Abstract

In this case report, our aim was to emphasize that cutaneous involvement can be seen at the time of diagnosis or during the clinical course of visceral organ cancers generally and colorectal cancers particularly. We also aimed to demonstrate that cutaneous lesions occurring in patients followed for visceral organ cancer can be metastases. A rapidly progressing scalp lesion arose in a newly diagnosed rectal cancer patient and a tru-cut biopsy was performed due to suspicious physical examination findings. The pathological examination reported metastasis of adenocarci- noma. This patient died due to a myocardial infarction during neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Cutaneous metastatic lesions in colorectal cancers must be evaluated as a sign of advanced disease and treatment protocols have to be determined according to this finding

Özet

Bu olgu sunumundaki amacımız viseral organ kanserlerinin kutanöz tutulumuna vurgu yapmak, olgumuzda da olduğu gibi kolorektal kanserlerde tanı anında ya da klinik seyri sırasında ortaya çıkabilecek kutanöz tutulumunu belirtmek ve viseral organ kanseri nedeniyle takip ettiğimiz hastalarda ortaya çıkabilecek cilt lezyonlarının metastaz olabileceğini vurgulamaktır. Rektal kanama nedeniyle araştırdığımız bu olgumuzda rektum kanseri tanısı konul- duktan sonra kısa zamanda ortaya çıkan, hızlı büyüyen ve şüpheli tomografik bulguları olan skalp lezyonundan yapılan biyopsi sonucu adenokarsinom metastazı olarak raporlandı. Hastamız neo adjuvan kemoterapi esnasında miyokard enfarktüsü nedeniyle hayatını kaybetti. Kolorektal kanserlerde nadir de olsa cilt tutulumuna rastlanabil- mektedir. Tanı anında ya da klinik seyir sırasında cildi tutan metastatik lezyonların varlığı ileri evre hastalığın belir- tisi olarak değerlendirilmeli ve tedavi protokolleri buna göre belirlenmelidir
