Colorectal cancers may spread by lymphatic and hematogenous dissemination in addition to contiguous and transperitoneal spread. The most common metastatic sites include the liver, lung, regional lymph nodes, and peritoneum. Although peritoneal carcinomatosis is often considered a late stage of disease progression, transcoelomic spread of colorectal cancer is reported to be encountered in 7% of patients undergoing primary surgery.1
