BACKGROUND: Soft tissue metastases of solid tumors are rare events, especially for colorectal cancers. CASE PRESENTATION: We report herein the case of a 65-year-old Arab woman with soft tissue metastases (left arm, right scapula, and right axillary masses) of a colorectal cancer 4 years after the initial surgery. The patient was treated with folinic acid-fluorouracil-irinotecan and bevacizumab as first-line treatment. One year after completion of chemotherapy, the patient remained alive. CONCLUSIONS: The key aim in reporting this case is to raise awareness among oncologists regarding potential unusual metastasis locations of colon adenocarcinoma such as skin and skeletal muscle.
