RESUMO
We present the case of a 62-year-old male with cutaneous metastases of a rectal adenocarcinoma located on the groin and left thigh. Due to their clinical similarity, the lesions were initially diagnosed and treated as herpes zoster. Cutaneous metastases have variable clinical presentation patterns. They may mimic benign skin lesions like epidermoid cysts, lipomas, erysipelas or, as in our case, herpes zoster.
