Abstract
Colorectal cancer is a fatal disease that is continuously increasing. Herein, we report a 36-year-old man with a seven-month history of colon adenocarcinoma, who presented with a painless, exophytic, bilateral scrotal mass that resembled lymphangioma in shape. The histopathological examination revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma, which was morphologically compatible with large bowel origin. To the best of our knowledge, cutaneous metastasis mimicking lymphangioma has rarely been described in the literature. Early diagnosis of cutaneous metastasis is very important and can improve the disease prognosis. A cutaneous metastasis should be considered when encountering any new painless exophytic lesions mimicking lymphangioma.
