  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 A nine-year-and-seven-month-old girl consulted our surgical clinic complaining of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Her abdominal wall was markedly distended but without any sign of defence musculair. Abdominal x-ray picture revealed niveaux, which implied intestinal obstruction (Fig. 1).

 An emergency operation disclosed a cancer of 3 cm in diameter in the transverse colon (Fig. 2, 3). A transverse colectomy with lymphadenectomy was carried out. The pathological diagnosis was that of a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma (Fig. 4).

 Twenty-nine cases of colon carcinoma of patients younger than 14-year-old have been reported in Japan, the youngest among which are two cases of nine-year-old patients (Table 2). Mucinous and signet-ring cell carcinomas are much more common in children than in adults (Table 3). Only four patients have survived more than five years among the 25 cases followed up. Intestinal polyposis was found in four cases (one benign, three malignant).
