Skin metastasis originating from colorectal cancer is a rare entity and usually signifies poor prognosis. We present a case of a 62-year-old male patient who presented with a cutaneous metastatic focus on his forehead after five years of the primary treatment of colon cancer. Complete response from the cutaneous metastasis nodule was achieved with radiotherapy. The patient is still alive and under a second-line palliative chemotherapy regimen because of the multiple liver metastases. It is important for physicians to be aware of skin metastasis in patients with an oncology history.
源自结直肠癌的皮肤转移是一种罕见情况,通常预示预后不良。我们报告一例62岁男性患者,在结肠癌初次治疗五年后前额出现皮肤转移灶。通过放疗,皮肤转移结节实现了完全缓解。由于出现多处肝转移,该患者仍在世并接受二线姑息化疗方案。对于有肿瘤病史的患者,医生了解皮肤转移情况很重要。
