Zosteriform cutaneous metastasis of a colonic adenocarcinoma
Keywords:
Cutaneous metastasis, colon cancer, zosteriform lesions.Abstract
Cutaneous metastasis from internal malignancies are rare especially those with zosteriform pattern. We report the case of a female patient with a colonic adenocarcinoma stage IV, who presented metastasis to her right thigh that mimicked herpes zoster. Prognosis of patients with cutaneous metastasis from internal malignancies is poor.
