Colorectal cancer in children: case report and review of literature
Trop Gastroenterol.

Abstract
Compared to adults, colorectal carcinoma is rare in children and has poorer prognosis, due to delay in diagnosis, advanced stage at presentation and aggressive natural history. We describe a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the rectum in a eleven year old boy and review the literature regarding colorectal cancer in children. A high index of suspicion and an early diagnosis may lead to an improvement in the dismal prognosis of this disease in children.
