An Unusual Coexistence: Right-Sided Colon Cancer and Intestinal Malrotation in an Adult.

Intestinal malrotation (IM), a rare congenital anomaly disrupting typical embryonic rotation around the superior mesenteric artery, is exceptionally uncommon in adults, with its link to colon cancer being even rarer. This article presents a case of colonic cancer in conjunction with IM in a 63-year-old male. Image studies and intraoperative findings show signs of IM. Open resection was performed due to concerns about vascular anomalies and abnormal lymphatic drainage. The case underscores the rarity of colon cancer in a malrotated gut, highlighting the necessity of preoperative identification for precise surgical planning and emphasizing the importance of careful dissection to prevent inadvertent vascular injury.
