The most common metastatic sites of colorectal cancer are liver, lung, peritoneum and lymph nodes. Metastasis of colorectal carcinoma to palatine tonsil is rarely seen. To our knowledge, only 11 patients were documented in English literature. Atypical metastases can sometimes lead to misdiagnosis. Precise diagnosis of atypical metastases requires a careful physical examination, good imaging method and comprehensive pathological evaluation. Here, we report a case of rectal adenocarcinoma presented with palatine tonsil metastasis.
结直肠癌最常见的转移部位是肝脏、肺、腹膜和淋巴结。结直肠癌转移至腭扁桃体很少见。据我们所知，英文文献中仅记载了11例患者。非典型转移有时会导致误诊。非典型转移的准确诊断需要仔细的体格检查、良好的影像学方法和全面的病理评估。在此，我们报告1例以腭扁桃体转移为表现的直肠腺癌病例。
