    Primary linitis plastica of the colon is a rare cancer. Early diagnosis and surgical removal offer the best hope, despite poor prognosis and disappointing adjuvant therapies.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Primary linitis plastica of the colon is an exceptionally rare malignancy.
    • Fewer than 30 cases have been documented in medical literature.

    Observation:

    • This review details three cases (2 men, 1 woman) aged 17-55.
    • Patients presented with diverse symptoms, including rectal bleeding and bowel obstruction.

    Findings:

    • Diagnostic clues include specific clinical, radiologic, and histologic features.
    • While prognosis is generally poor, surgical resection, including oophorectomy in women, is recommended.
    • Adjuvant therapies have shown limited efficacy.

    Implications:

    • Early identification and surgical intervention are crucial for managing this rare colon cancer.
