| Popis: |
The occurrence of cutaneous metastasis from colorectal cancer is rare, with a reported frequency of less than 4 to 5 percent. Typically signifies widespread disease and a poor prognosis. Metastases from adenocarcinoma of the colon-rectum usually occur within two years of resection of the primary tumour, and the average survival of a patient with cutaneous metastasis has been reported as ranging from 3 to 18 months. The case reported here concerns a patient who developed a skin metastasis without evidence of visceral involvement after treatment of rectal carcinoma. It is advisable to implement cutaneous biopsy in patients with a history of carcinoma; this may establish the diagnosis of metastatic disease and change the methods of therapeutic intervention and prognosis. |
