Perforated cecal adenocarcinoma presenting as a thigh abscess

G N Mann et al. South Med J. 1997 Sep.

Abstract

Complicated colorectal carcinoma has several symptoms, the most common being bleeding and obstruction. Occasionally it will cause perforation, which carries a worse prognosis. We report a case of perforated adenocarcinoma of the cecum that presented as an abscess of the thigh. We also present a review of the literature on this subject.
