ABSTRACT
Skin metastasis from abdominal cancers occurs as infiltration or paraneoplastic syndromes. Liver and lung are the most common locations of distant metastases of colorectal cancer [CRC], but CRC skin metastases are very rare. We describe a 55-year old patient with wide spread cutaneous metastasis from a previously treated known case of adenocarcinoma of the colon. Interestingly, liver and lung, as the most common site of metastasis of CRC, had not been involved. Although, skin metastasis is a worse prognostic factor, its occurrence in CRC patient doesn't necessarily present end stage disease. So, it could be treated by early diagnosis of susceptible cutaneous lesions
