<jats:p>Distant metastases from colorectal cancer to the abdominal wall are rare presentations of the end-stage of the disease. In this case, we present a female patient treated for Stage I rectosigmoid cancer with the late occurrence of abdominal wall metastasis, 7 years after the primary cancer surgery. The patient was treated with surgical excision and abdominal wall reconstruction with the use of synthetic mesh. Literature research on the abdominal wall recurrence/metastases from colorectal cancer was performed.</jats:p>
