Keywords:
Signet ring cell carcinoma colon, pediatric colon carcinoma, Signet ring carcinoma children
Abstract
A twelve year old male patient presented with pain abdomen and vomiting on and off since 4 months. Patient had abdominal distension and a lump was palpable in abdomen on examination. The gross examination of the resected sigmoid colon revealed a stricture which on microscopy revealed the features of signet ring carcinoma colon. This case is being presented here due to rarity of this type of carcinoma in children.References
