Abstract 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.
