Skin metastases from internal malignancies are rare, even more from colorectal tumours, and are usually a sign of disseminated disease with a poor prognosis. However, with increased numbers of cancer survivors, a high index of suspicion should exist during the evaluation of cutaneous lesions since it can be the initial sign of disease progression or even the first sign that triggers a malignancy diagnosis, potentially improving the patient's odds. Herein, we report a case of synchronous cutaneous metastases from colon adenocarcinoma with unusual localization on the back and forearm of a 65-year-old man.
来自体内恶性肿瘤的皮肤转移瘤很少见,来自结直肠肿瘤的更是罕见,通常是疾病播散且预后不良的征象。然而,随着癌症幸存者数量的增加,在评估皮肤病变时应保持高度怀疑,因为它可能是疾病进展的初始征象,甚至是触发恶性肿瘤诊断的首个征象,有可能改善患者的预后。在此,我们报告一例65岁男性结肠腺癌同步性皮肤转移瘤的病例,其转移部位位于背部和前臂,较为罕见。
