Abstract
Skeletal muscle metastasis from gastrointestinal system tumours is extremely rare. We report an unusual presentation of skeletal muscle metastasis in the brachialis muscle as a presenting feature of a previously undiagnosed colonic adenocarcinoma in a 66-year-old male. He presented to us with a painful, flexion deformity of his elbow and suspected to have a biceps brachii rupture. We review the clinico-radiological findings and the relevant literature. This case-report highlights the importance of a thorough clinical evaluation especially in presence of red flag signs, early multi-disciplinary team (MDT) discussion and biopsy to formulate a plan of management.Entities:
