Cutaneous metastasis of signet ring cell adenocarcinoma of the colon

Cutaneous metastasis of colorectal cancer is uncommon. Therefore, in this case study, we present a unique case of cutaneous metastasis of signet ring adenocarcinoma. The patient presented with generalized asymptomatic subcutaneous nodules 2 years after primary tumor diagnosis. Skin metastasis appeared 3 months before the liver and lung metastasis. However, the patient died 4 months later. Therefore, clinicians should observe signs of distant metastasis of colorectal cancer to enhance survival and improve outcomes.

Abstract

Cutaneous metastasis of colorectal cancer is uncommon. Therefore, in this case study, we present a unique case of cutaneous metastasis of signet ring adenocarcinoma. The patient presented with generalized asymptomatic subcutaneous nodules 2 years after primary tumor diagnosis. Skin metastasis appeared 3 months before the liver and lung metastasis. However, the patient died 4 months later. Therefore, clinicians should observe signs of distant metastasis of colorectal cancer to enhance survival and improve outcomes.
