Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Colorectal region is the most common site of gastrointestinalmalignancy and represents about 15% of all cancer-related deaths. The incidence peaks around seventh decade of life and less than 20% presents before the age of 50. But colorectal carcinoma in children is very rare, with an incidence of only 1.3 per million.[1]Because of this rarity, clinical managementand treatment strategies are generally extrapolated from experience with adults.[8]However, many small series and case reports suggest that children are more likely than adults to have an advanced-stage disease at presentation, unfavourable (mucinous) tumour histology, and a pooroutcome.[9] A boy was admitted with acute intestinal obstruction and underwent laparotomy and which showed that patient had colonic mass and was proven to have adenocarcinoma colon on histopathology and was planned for chemotherapy.
