| الملخص: | This article reports one case of child colonic carcinoma. This is a rare disease in children which usually occurs in predisposing conditions, e.g. ulcerative colitis, familial polyposis coli, Gardner's syndrome, Turcot's syndrome and Peutz-Jegher's syndrome. The patient in this report was 12 years old. He presented with chronic intermittent colicky abdominal pain and uncorrectable iron deficiency anemia for 7 months prior to definite diagnosis. This report also reviews the literature about colorectal carcinoma in children. Physicians can make an early diagnosis with a high index of suspicion if they cannot explain clearly what causes abdominal pain. Further investigations should be performed, thereby, avoiding delayed diagnosis and improving survival rate. |
