Abstract
We present a 60-year-old man with a metastatic subcutaneous lump in the left lower quadrant of the abdomen, from rectal cancer, which was treated three years earlier with low anterior resection of the rectum. Excision of the abdominal wall metastasis was accomplished with negative histological margins, but six months later a new abdominal wall mass was detected. The patient underwent surgery again, in which the abdominal wall metastasis was resected en bloc with adherent portion of small bowel, along with inguinal lymph node dissection. The patient's condition deteriorated 10 months after the initial diagnosis, presenting again with abdominal wall cancer and dying from disseminated peritoneal disease.
