Cutaneous metastasis of colon adenocarcinoma

Özet

Skin metastasis originating from colorectal cancer is a rare entity and usually signifies poor prognosis. We present acase of a 62-year-old male patient who presented with a cutaneous metastatic focus on his forehead after five yearsof the primary treatment of colon cancer. Complete response from the cutaneous metastasis nodule was achievedwith radiotherapy. The patient is still alive and under a second-line palliative chemotherapy regimen because of themultiple liver metastases. It is important for physicians to be aware of skin metastasis in patients with an oncologyhistory.
