CARCINOMA OF CAECUM PRESENTING AS MEGA INTUSSUSCEPTION AND RECTAL MASS

Abstract

Carcinoma of colon and rectum are second commonest cancer cause of death in United Kingdom. Because, right colon has a large caliber, a thin and distensible wall and faecal content is fluid, so, carcinoma of right colon may attain a large size before it gives specific symptoms. Any complication like acute appendicitis or intussusception may draw early attention, when curative resection is possible. In this report, an unusual presentation of carcinoma of caecum is reported.
