PAIS, Alejandro B. et al. Colorectal adenocarcinoma in a 5 year old girl. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2015, vol.113, n.6, pp.e333-e335. ISSN 0325-0075. http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2015.e333.
Colorectal adenocarcinoma is exceptional in children, generally diagnosed in advanced stages, with worse prognosis. We report the case of a 5 year old girl with isolated hematochezia lasting two months without other findings, in whom a colorectal adenocarcinoma was confirmed by colonoscopy. Staging revealed localized disease, extending to perisigmoid fat and a few adjacent ganglia. She was treated by laparoscopic resection and adjuvant chemotherapy, being free of disease at 21 moths of follow-up.
