Colorectal carcinoma is major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide occurring in younger age group. Its histological subtype of mucinous adenocarcinoma (MC) is associated controversially with poor prognosis and rare regional lymph node metastasis. Family history of such malignancy is seen, if its microsatellite instability (MSI) associated. We present a rare case of a 30-year-old gentleman with recurrent episodes of dull aching pain in lower left abdomen, constipation, bleeding per rectum since last four years diagnosed as mucinous adenocarcinoma on histopathology and with family history of deaths due to mucinous colo-rectal carcinoma.
