Hematochezia Revealing an Adenocacinoma

Abstract

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is a common pathology in the adult population but remains a very rare neoplasia in childhood with delayed diagnosis and advanced stage with grim prognosis that can be fatal, research regarding pediatric adenocarcinoma remain very rare. IT represents approximately 1% of pediatric neoplasms. It is usually associated with predisposing genetic factors; this pathology is closely linked with the inheritance of familial syndromes. The pediatric clinical presentations are nonspecific, with a grim prognosis. This review aimed to report a case of a 10-year-old girl who presented with constipation and hematochezia evolving since three months' diagnosis with rectal adenocarcinoma.
