Core Tip
Core Tip: Colon cancer skip metastasis is rare, especially for skin skip metastasis in the left shoulder. Non-metastatic local lymph node involvement with metastasis to cervical lymph nodes suggested an unusual mechanism underlying tumor metastasis. Following resection of the primary and metastatic tumor tissues, the patient has no tumor recurrences and has a good prognosis, which may benefit future clinical treatment for colon cancer patients with skip metastases.
