Abstract

A rare case of adenosquamous carcinoma of the colon supposed to be the cancer family syndrome was reported together with a review of the literature.
A 24-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of lower abdominal pain. He was diagnosed as having a cancer of the descending colon with metastasis to the anterior segment of the liver. Left hemicolectomy with regional lymphonode dissection and partial resection of the liver were carried out. Histological examination revealed an adenosquamous carcinoma of the colon. As far as we could examine, only 60 cases of adenosquamous carcinoma of the colon have been reported in Japan.
