Axillary Lymph Node Involvement, a Unique Pattern of Metastasis inBRAF-Mutant Colorectal Cancer

inhibition of BTK downregulates expression of myriad downstream signaling molecules, most prominently PLCγ2, some mutations in which seem to mediate ibrutinib resistance. Interestingly, a clinically similar eruption-a lymphohistiocytic infiltrate with eosinophils responsive to corticosteroids-has been described in patients with mutations in the PLCγ2 gene. 6 In conclusion, treatment of lymphoid leukemias with the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib can lead to development of a panniculitis, which may be induced by drug-induced immune modulation. Previously uncharacterized, this painful rash typically occurs early during drug exposure and responds well to systemic corticosteroid use; however, low-dose maintenance therapy may be necessary to prevent recurrence.

“…Intercommunicating lymphatic flow and backflow of lymph from the paraaortic node to the thoracic duct may be the most direct route by which the cancer spread to the axilla. 3 Although hematogenous spread is less likely, it cannot be completely ruled out. Venous plexus drainage could be a route of possible dissemination.…”

“…Only one other case report has noted solitary metastasis to the axilla following right hemicolectomy of the distal ascending colon. 3 In a related case, a patient had been diagnosed with breast cancer and gastric cancer prior to the metastasis of colon adenocarcinoma to axillary lymph nodes. 4 If metastasis has already occurred for previously diagnosed malignancies, the likelihood of colon adenocarcinoma metastasis is much higher.…”

Introduction Adenocarcinoma of the colon can metastasize to multiple organs but very rarely metastasizes to the axilla. Case We present a case of a 56-year-old male with metastatic colon adenocarcinoma that metastasized to the rectum and then the axilla. Three years after initial diagnosis and treatment of right colon mucinous adenocarcinoma a metastatic mass was found in the rectum. The mass was successfully resected, but within a year of finding the rectal mass, metastatic disease to the axilla was discovered. Conclusion This case provides valuable teaching points about routes of metastasis and the importance of continued clinical follow-up in patients diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the colon.

“…Other common metastatic sites are lung, peritoneum and ovary. Disease dissemination to lymph nodes other than the local ones is rare, with only four cases reported, as far as we know, of disease recurrence in axillary lymph nodes in patients with primary cancer of the colon [1]- [4].…”

The most common metastatic sites of colon cancer are local lymph nodes, liver and lungs. Lymph node metastasis at distant sites is rare. In this article, we describe the case of a patient with ascending colon cancer with a metastasis in an axillary lymph node. The clinical presentation of this tumor was with an intestinal obstruction, and an emergency resection surgery was undertaken. The patient died at the third post-operative month, with lymph node and hepatic metastasis, and implants in the abdominal fat and in the mesentery, near the ileocolic anastomosis.
