Cutaneous Metastasis in Colorectal Cancer: A Rare and Overlooked Phenomenon.
Curēus 2024 Februrary
Cutaneous metastasis from internal malignancies, indicative of poor prognosis, is rare and often involves primary sources like lung, breast, and colorectal cancer (CRC). This case details a 66-year-old male developing a scalp lesion 10 years post colon adenocarcinoma diagnosis. The challenging medical journey included a comprehensive biopsy confirming metastatic CRC in cutaneous tissue through CDX2 and CK20 positivity, emphasizing the importance of advanced diagnostic techniques. Despite medical advancements, the patient's unfavorable prognosis led to succumbing within a year, highlighting challenges in managing such cases and the need for vigilant post-diagnosis care. This report underscores the limited understanding of cutaneous metastasis, emphasizing the role of immunostaining and prompting awareness for early detection and tailored treatment. Further research into atypical metastasis mechanisms is crucial for improved prognostic outcomes and enhanced comprehension of these complex manifestations.
