Abstract
The presence of cutaneous metastases (CM) from a digestive tract cancer is infrequent, appearing in less than 5% of the cases. Given the low incidence of metastasis from colon adenocarcinoma, an unusual case that occurred in the Colorectal Surgery Department of Santa Casa de São Paulo is described in this report, and a brief review of literature is presented. A 78-year-old female patient who underwent right hemicolectomy, developed a tumor with approximately 8 cm in diameter in her gluteus eight months later, which was surgically resected, and the histological diagnosis was metastatic adenocarcinoma of the right colon. Although the literature estimated short survival in cases of CM, the patient developed no signs of tumor recurrence five months after the onset of metastasis in the gluteus, with significant improvement in her quality of life.
A presença de metástase cutânea (MC) de neoplasia de trato digestivo é um evento pouco frequente, presente em menos de 5% dos casos da doença. Tendo em vista a baixa incidência da metástase cutânea de adenocarcinoma de cólon, será descrito no presente relato um caso incomum que ocorreu no Serviço de Coloproctologia do Departamento de Cirurgia da Irmandade da Santa Casa de São Paulo e será feita uma breve revisão de literatura. Uma paciente do sexo feminino, 78 anos, submetida à hemicolectomia direita, desenvolveu após oito meses tumoração de aproximadamente 8 cm de diâmetro em sua nádega, que foi ressecada cirurgicamente, tendo diagnóstico histológico de metástase de adenocarcinoma de cólon direito. Apesar de ser estimada pela literatura uma sobrevida curta nos casos de MC, a paciente evolui sem sinais de recidiva do tumor após cinco meses do surgimento da metástase em glúteo, com melhora significativa em sua qualidade de vida.
