“…An ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy of the lesion is the standard of care for establishing an accurate diagnosis, and hence full clinical details at the time of histology examination are paramount 10. The differentiation between primary breast carcinoma and colorectal metastatic adenocarcinoma can be difficult on routine hematoxylin and eosin staining.…”

Metastasis to the breast from colorectal carcinoma is rare, only a few cases have been reported in the literature, and no cases have been reported in a young, 28-year-old patient. This report confirms the occurrence of the disease in a younger age group. The patient was referred to the Breast Clinic with a history of a gradually increasing lump in her right breast for two weeks' duration. On clinical examination, a 2-cm firm lump was noted in the upper inner quadrant of the right breast, which was clinically benign; however, histological examination of the breast core biopsy together with immunohistochemistry confirmed metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. The primary colorectal carcinoma was later confirmed to be a stage pT4N2M1 tumor, and the Duke stage was C1. Histology with immunohistochemistry is very important in the diagnosis of cases of this nature, but the clinical correlation should be taken into consideration at multidisciplinary team meetings to decide the final management of the patient.

“…Metastatic lesions in breast are seen around and welldemarcated in mammography on the other hand spiculated, microcalcification and skin changes are not expected. It is recommended that to avoid surgical operations in the case of presenting these symptoms (7). In a study, Barthelmes et al advocated to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions because of short survival expectation and risk of skin planting (8).…”

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world and second most common cause of cancer mortality after lung cancer. Metastasis to the regional lymph nodes are found in 40-70% of cases at the time of resection, with metastasis to more distant sites occurring most frequently in the liver, peritoneal cavity, and lung, followed by the adrenals, ovaries, and bone. it is a rare case for a CRC to metastasis to skin and breast and that indicates advanced disease. In this case we reported a 64-year-old female CRC patient presenting with cervical and intra abdominal lymph nodes metastase a short time after adjuvant chemotherapy treatment and subsequent developing breast and diffuse skin metastase at initial of new cure chemotherapy. Because of skin and breast metastase related to colorectal cancers are so rare we try to inform this case to literature. Key Words: Colorectal cancer, Breast metastasis, Skin metastasis ÖzKolorektal kanser dünya çapında en sık görülen üçüncü ve akciğer kanserinden sonra en sık ölüme neden olan ikinci malignitedir. Rezeksiyon sırasında hastaların %40-70'inde rejyonel lenf nodu metastazı varken, uzak metastazlar en sık karaciğer, peritoneal kavite ve akciğere, daha nadir olarak da adrenaller, overler ve kemiklere olmaktadır. Bu olguda 64 yaşında kolon kanseri nedeniyle adjuvan kemoterapi alan kadın hastada kısa süre sonra gelişen servikal ve intraabdominal lenf nodu metastazı gelişmesini ve yeni başlanan kemoterapi rejiminden kısa süre sonra meme ve cilt metastazı gelişmesini rapor ettik. Kolorektal kanserlerde meme ve cilt metastazlarının çok nadir olması nedeniyle bu olguyu litaratüre bidirmek istedik. Colorectal cancer the third most common cancer in the world and second most common cause of cancer mortality after lung cancer. The risk for colorectal cancer increases with age, but 3% of colorectal cancers occur in patients younger than 40 years of age. Multiple factors like polyps, diet, inflammatory bowel disease, genetics and smoking drive the transformation of healthy colorectal mucosa to cancer. Genetic and environmental factors, such as maintaining a low body mass index and exercising regularly, correlate with lower incidence rates. Metastases to the regional lymph nodes are found in 40-70 % of cases at the time of resection, with metastases to more distant sites occurring most frequently in the liver, peritoneal cavity, and lung, followed by the adrenals, ovaries, and bone (1). It is a rare case for a CRC to metastasis to skin and breast and that indicates advanced disease. Breast metastasis of CRC is an uncommon case with a poor prognosis. The development of breast metastases is exceptionally rare, account for 0.43 % of all breast malignancies and is associated with poor clinical outcome (2). It is reported that skin
