Abstract

Adenocarcinoma metastatic to the skin usually originates in the lung, breast, large intestine or ovary. Cutaneous metastatic tumors from rectum or colon tend to appear in the abdominal or perineal area, but rarely appear in the perianal and genital skin. A 53-year-old female presented multiple nodules in and near the surgical scars of inguinal, pubie, vulvar, perianal areas and normal skin of left thigh two months after surgical removal of rectal adenocarcinoma. Biopsy specimens from the nodules of the perianal area and left thigh showed adenocarcinoma of well differentiated atruetures like the primary rectal carcinoma.
