Abstract:
A 12 year old female child of Arab origin presented with chronic bloody diarrhoea and growth failure. Physical examination confirmed a growth failure and cafe-au-lait patches. Colonoscopy and colon biopsies showed adenocarcinoma of the colon and laparotomy confirmed metastases to the liver. A diagnosis of Turcot's Syndrome was entertained in this child.
