Abstract: | Carcinoma of the colon seen in an 11-year-old boy is reported herein. The patient had advanced carcinoma of the ascending
colon and died 8 months after an ileo-transversostomy had been performed as a palliative procedure. Histologically, the tumor
was found to be signetring cell carcinoma. 29 cases of colon carcinoma reported in Japanese children under 15 years of age
are also reviewed. In 19 of these patients, surgery was done as an elective procedure after the diagnosis of colon cancer
had been established, but emergency surgery was performed on 10 patients for perforation or obstruction of the bowel. Curative
resection was possible in 14 patients, but of these, only 3 patients survived for more than 10 years. |
