Subcutaneous metastasis from a visceral malignancy is rare with an incidence of 5.3%. Skin involvement as the presenting sign of a silent internal malignancy is an even rarer event occurring in approximately 0.8%. We report a case of a patient who presented to her dermatologist complaining of rapidly developing subcutaneous nodules which subsequently proved to be metastatic colon cancer, and we provide a review of the literature.
内脏恶性肿瘤的皮下转移很少见,发生率为5.3%。皮肤受累作为隐匿性内部恶性肿瘤的首发症状则更为罕见,发生率约为0.8%。我们报告了一例患者,该患者因迅速出现的皮下结节而就诊于皮肤科医生,随后被证实为转移性结肠癌,并对相关文献进行了综述。
