Colon Mucinous Adenocarcinoma in Childhood : A Case Report with Emphasis on Image Findings

الملخص EN

Colorectal cancer is extremely rare in children.

We report a case of a 12-year-old boy who presented with a five-month history of weight loss and anorexia, associated with vomiting episodes, dizziness, fatigue, and dyspnea.

On physical examination, a palpable abdominal mass was noticed on the right hypochondrium and flank.

An imaging study was performed, which showed a solid mass on the right colon.

The patient underwent incisional surgical biopsy, and subsequent histopathologic analysis revealed a colon mucinous adenocarcinoma.
