Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, with common sites of metastases including abdominal lymph nodes, the liver and lungs. Bone metastases are known to be relatively rare sites of metastasis. The present study reported a patient with advanced colorectal cancer and metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) with atypical metastases presentation. Bone mCRCs were not frequent and presented a poor prognosis in the present case. It was concluded that further studies are required to clarify the pathogenesis of bone metastases, to improve the management and treatment of patients.
