主 题：Adrenal gland bilateral Colorectal cancer metastasis metachronous
摘 要：rarely has a solitary, metachronous bilateral adrenal metastasis of colorectal cancer been reported. We depict a 41-year-old man who underwent sigmoid colon cancer radical surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy for alocally ulcerative sigmoid adenocarcinoma with metachronous bilateral adrenal metastasis revealed by a computed tomography scan. histopathological examination showed adenocarcinoma, compatible with metastasis from the rectal cancer. the level of serum carcinoembryonic antigen had indicative significance for the presence of adrenal metastasis in the reported series. We performed a literature analysis related to this pathological characteristic and attach importance to consistent, vigilant radiological surveillance of the adrenal glands in the patients follow up for colorectal cancer with or without subsequent adrenal metastasis.
