Cutaneous metastasis in anorectal adenocarcinoma

Indian Dermatol Online J. 2015 May-Jun;6(3):213-6. doi: 10.4103/2229-5178.156418.

Abstract

Cutaneous metastasis in anorectal adenocarcinoma is a rare entity. Here, we report the case of a 40-year-old female who presented with yellowish-brown, irregular, solid, elevated rashes over the pubis with a recent history off palliative colostomy for anorectal adenocarcinoma. Clinically, we suspected metastasis that was proved on biopsy. We report this case due to the rare presenting site (i.e., perineum) of a metastatic adenocarcinoma.

Keywords: Adenocarcinoma; anorectal; cachexia; histopathology; metastasis; secondaries.
