Abstract:

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is a common carcinoma of the colon and rectum, typically observed in men and women worldwide. There are many types of colorectal carcinomas, but colorectal adenocarcinomas constitute the most common type (over 90% of them). Signet Ring-Cell Carcinoma (SRCC) of Colon and Rectum is a rare histological subtype of colorectal adenocarcinoma. They constitute less than 1% of all colorectal adenocarcinomas and are known to be highly-aggressive tumors. The (SRCC) Median age is about 59 years (1).
This is a case report of a very young male with Signet Ring-Cell Carcinoma (SRCC) of rectum; this paper will help to raise physicians and pediatricians awareness about Signet Ring-Cell Carcinoma (SRCC) of Colon and Rectum.
