ABSTRACT
Compared to adults, colorectal carcinoma is rare in children and has poorer prognosis, due to delay in diagnosis, advanced stage at presentation and aggressive natural history. We describe a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the rectum in a eleven year old boy and review the literature regarding colorectal cancer in children. A high index of suspicion and an early diagnosis may lead to an improvement in the dismal prognosis of this disease in children.
