Abstract
|
|
|
Cutaneous metastases occur uncommonly with a reported incidence of 0.7% to 10% in all patients with internal organ malignancy. Cutaneous metastases in the face occur in less than 0.5% of patients with metastatic skin cancer.
Cutaneous metastases occur in less than 4% of colon adenocarcinoma patients and the most frequent site is the
abdominal skin, especially the scar of previous surgical incision. But metastases to the skin of the head and neck
region from colon adenocarcinoma are rare and especially, facial skin metastases are very rare. We report a case of
cutaneous metastasis to the face and scalp from colon adenocarcinoma. (Korean J Dermatol 2008;46(4):499∼502)
