Eleven new cases of colorectal carcinoma in children (0-15 years of age) are added to the 212 cases already described in the literature. Mucinous adenocarcinoma was the most frequent histological type. Acute abdominal obstruction was the most frequent presentation. A radiologic diagnosis of malignancy was made in only six of eleven cases. The interval between onset of clinical symptoms and diagnosis ranged from two days to one year. Duration of symptoms, pathologic findings, stage, and prognosis differed markedly as compared with adult colorectal carcinomas. In spite of its rarity, colorectal malignancies may occur in children.

Rare cause of abdominal pain in childhood: computed tomography findings in a 14-year-old boy with a colonic carcinoma

Carcinoma of the colon during infancy and childhood is a rare disease, and the diagnosis is usually not taken into consideration in a child complaining of abdominal pain. Owing to the lack of awareness of its occurrence and the histological cell type, it generally presents as advanced disease. We report on the case of a 14-year-old patient admitted to hospital with an acute abdomen and a 2-month history of night sweats and weight loss of 10 kg. Ultrasound and computed tomography revealed an unclear mass of the lower abdomen, and colonoscopic histopathologic examination disclosed an obstructing tubular-papillary adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon. Colonic carcinoma should be included as a differential diagnosis in young patients with abdominal pain of unknown etiology.

“…This is probably because in children not only is the progression of the disease more rapid (Salem and Postlethwait, 1960) but the diagnosis is more likely to be missed than in adults, owing to the rarity of this condition in the young. For example, a boy aged 15 years (Williams, 1954) was thought to have mesenteric adenitis, and after an appendicectomy had two fdrther operations for colic in which adhesions were divided. Only at a fourth operation, six months after the first, was a carcinoma of the splenic flexure found.…”
