A CASE OF CECAL CANCER WITH RETROPERITONEAL ABSCESS.

This paper reports a case of a 65-year old male patient with cecal cancer complicated by retroperitoneal abscess. The patient initially presented with abdominal pain and fever. Through a series of examinations such as laboratory tests, abdominal CT, and colonoscopy, a diagnosis was made. After abscess drainage and subsequent radical right hemicolectomy and abscess debridement, the patient received adjuvant chemotherapy. During the two-year follow-up, there was no recurrence. The paper also discusses the etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of colon cancer with retroperitoneal abscesses, aiming to improve clinicians' understanding and handling ability of this rare disease.
