ABSTRACT

Introduction: Colorectal cancer is a big health problem due to its high incidence and mortality. Cutaneous metastases are rare with an incidence ‹ 5%. Clinical case: A male with a history of colectomy due to colon cancer, who 6 years later presented a cutaneous lesion. The biopsy reported colonic metastasis, so radical surgical resection was performed. The pathological anatomy confirmed a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma compatible with colonic metastasis. Discussion and conclusion: Cutaneous metastases are rare and when they appear they indicate an advanced disease, for that reason is important a high index of suspicion in patients at risk, for an early diagnosis.
