| Abstract |
|
Malignant diseases of tte colon are rare during childhood. The etiology of disesaes has not not been clearly defined, but diet, exposure to farm chemical, carcinogens, bile acid, clostria, and genetic factors are associated with large
bowel cancer. 50% of the adenocarcinoma in children are of the mucin producing variety. The prognosis of childhood cancer of the colon is very poor, probably owing to late diagnosis and early metastasis. Recently we experienced a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of ascending colon without predisposing conditions in 12 years 10 months old boy. we presented the case with the brief review of the literatures.
