  • Gastrointestinal Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Colorectal cancer is rare in children.
  • Tuberculosis can present with varied symptoms, potentially masking other conditions.

Observation:

  • A 13-year-old female presented with symptoms initially attributed to tuberculosis.
  • Further investigation revealed adenocarcinoma of the colon with ovarian and omental metastases.

Findings:

  • Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis as mucinous carcinoma.
  • The patient received the FAM (fluorouracil, doxorubicin, mitomycin-C) chemotherapy regimen post-surgery.
  • No significant relief was observed from chemotherapy two months after surgical intervention.

Implications:
