Carcinoma of the colon in a child
Abstract:
A case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon in a 12-year-old girl is reported. There was no evidence of pre-existing familial polyposis or ulcerative colitis, conditions which predispose to colon carcinoma in childhood. A review of the literature revealed 103 previously reported cases. The salient features of the disease are discussed.
