Abstract EN
Cutaneous metastases from colorectal cancers are rare and are usually present on the abdominal wall or previous surgical incision sites.
Remote cutaneous lesions have been reported, however, often occur in the setting of widespread metastatic disease including other visceral secondaries.
We present a case of lower extremity cutaneous metastases as the first sign of metastatic disease in a patient with adenocarcinoma of the colon.
This case illustrates that new skin lesions may be the initial presentation of metastatic disease in a patient with a history of cancer.
