Zosteriform metastasis of rectal adenocarcinoma: a case report.

Zosteriform metastasis of rectal adenocarcinoma: a case report. Dermatol Online J. 2015;21(5) Authors: Reusser NM, Wu W, Mir M Abstract Cutaneous metastases manifesting as zosteriform eruptions are uncommon. To our knowledge, we report the second case of zosteriform cutaneous metastasis arising from a rectal carcinoma in a 58-year-old man who presented with a painless popular eruption in the T12 dermatomal distribution nine months after his primary diagnosis of rectal carcinoma was made. Furthermore, we discuss a review of the literature regarding zosteriform cutaneous metastases and the possible pathogenesis of these lesions. PMID: 26295853 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
