Abstract
ROBLES-DIAZ, José F.. Skin metastasis in colorectal cancer in Peru and literature review. Gac. mex. oncol. [online]. 2023, vol.22, suppl.1, pp.66-73. Epub Sep 11, 2023. ISSN 2565-005X. https://doi.org/10.24875/j.gamo.22000116.
Colorectal adenocarcinoma usually metastasizes to the liver and/or lung, but rarely metastasizes to the skin. In a lower incidence it occurs at the facial level or on the scalp. The behavior of a skin metastasis at the head of colorectal cancer is unknown. With regard to a female patient with extensive facial metastasis at debut, a review of the cases published to date was carried out to describe the behavior of this scenario.
