Abstract

The incidence of carcinoma of the large bowel is very low in children, and it is also known that the prognosis of this tumour in children is very poor. Recently the authors experienced a case of adenocarcinoma of the transverse colon in a 12 year old boy who survived more than 6 years without evidence of disease. This particular case is reported here with a review of the literature.
