Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Colorectal carcinoma is uncommon in pediatric patients.
  • Delayed diagnosis in children can occur due to a low index of suspicion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of considering colorectal carcinoma in children presenting with specific symptoms.
  • To emphasize the need for prompt diagnostic workup in suspected cases.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of two pediatric patients diagnosed with colorectal carcinoma.
  • Review of diagnostic pathways and reasons for delay.

Main Results:

  • Two cases of colorectal carcinoma in children were identified.
  • Diagnostic delays were attributed to a low index of suspicion for this malignancy in pediatric patients.

Conclusions:

  • Any child with unexplained rectal bleeding and abdominal pain warrants thorough investigation.
  • Endoscopy and barium enema are recommended diagnostic tools for suspected pediatric colorectal carcinoma.
