- Abstract
- We report a new case of S.C.C. of the large bowel with multiple liver metastases. A resection of the primary tumour and liver biopsies were performed with administration of a postoperative chemotherapy (5-Fluorouracil). After a stabilization of 3 months, the metastases were rapidly progressive and the patient died a year after the diagnosis. About 70 cases of S.C.C. of the colon and rectum have been described in the literature. It is most common in the fifth decade and occurs equally in male and female. The most frequent locations are the rectum and the sigmoid. Clinical and physical features and common diagnostic methods do not differentiate the S.C.C. from adenocarcinoma. Treatment is the same but the prognosis of S.C.C. appears to be worse than that of adenocarcinoma.
