“…15 This may be an important clue in arousing clinical suspicion of metastasis when compared with the more common soft tissue sarcoma, inasmuch as the latter typically present as enlarging, painless soft tissue masses. 29,46,49 On the other hand, the clinical presentation of an isolated soft tissue metastasis overlaps that of soft tissue sarcoma enough that sarcoma was the most common clinically suspected process before biopsy in this series and in the literature. Psoas involvement by metastastic disease is frequently confused with psoas abscess or hematoma, both clinically and radiographically.…”

This possibility seems especially likely given the relatively prolonged survival for the vast majority of those renal cell metastases reported.…”

Hematogenous metastasis of esophageal adenocarcinoma to the skeletal muscle is uncommon. We report a rare case of esophageal adenocarcinoma with metastasis to the skeletal muscle. During pretherapeutic examination, a painful mass was detected in the left thigh of a 49-yearold man. Endoscopic biopsy identified poorly differentiated, advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography (CT) revealed wall thickening in the distal esophagus. Two enlarged lymph nodes were detected-the middle thoracic paraesophageal lymph node in the mediastinum and the right cardiac lymph node. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography demonstrated left thigh metastasis, which had not been detected by CT 3 weeks previously, with increased accumulation of FDG. Therefore, ultrasound-guided coreneedle biopsy was performed. Histologic and immunohistochemical findings supported a diagnosis of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. The final diagnosis was primary esophageal adenocarcinoma with distant metastasis to the skeletal (left thigh) muscle. The rate of disease progression in this case emphasizes the malignant potential of esophageal adenocarcinoma. A few cases of skeletal metastasis from advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma have been previously reported. However, rapid metastasis to a distant skeletal muscle with no other hematogenous metastasis is quite rare. Early detection and rapid treatment are especially important in cases of esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Gomes CMCN; Bin FC; Klug WA; Valois T; Preza MTG. Cutaneous metastases from colonic adenocarcinoma -case report. J Coloproctol, 2012;32(3): 297-300. 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.Keywords: colonic neoplasms; adenocarcinoma; neoplasm metastasis; skin; neovascularization, pathologic. RESUMO: Metástase cutânea de adenocarcinoma de cólon -relato de caso.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
