Abstract

A 58-year-old man visited our hospital because of fecal occult blood. A cecum colon cancer was detected by colonoscopy and barium enema, and an ileocecal resection was performed. Histopathological examination revealed mixed composition of adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine cell carcinoma (adenocarcinoma with neuroendocrine cell carcinoma). Generally, neuroendocrine cell carcinoma grows rapidly with a high incidence of metastasis. It is biologically a tumor with a high malignant potential. Radical treatment can not be achieved only by surgical therapy, and further studies of effective chemotherapies are warranted.
