Abstract
Skin metastasis from colorectal carcinoma without evidence of visceral metastases is exceedingly rare. However, it must be considered whenever a new skin growth appears in a patient with a history of carcinoma. A diagnostic biopsy is mandatory as the appearance of these metastases is not distinctive.Keywords
