Abstract
A primary clear cell adenocarcinoma of the colon is a rare oncologic entity. The current study presents a case of such a tumor in the transverse colon of a 26‑year‑old male, and describes the computed tomography features of the neoplasm. The tumor appeared as an extensive extracolic mass, which displaced the loop of the small bowel and pancreas, and invaded the spleen. A laparotomy was performed and a huge mass measuring 12 cm maximally was revealed, arising from the transverse colon close to the left colonic flexure, with invasion of the spleen. The tumor and the spleen were resected concurrently. Histopathological examination of the excised mass revealed features of clear cell adenocarcinoma. A primary clear cell adenocarcinoma of the colon is a rare tumor, with only 13 cases reported in the English literature at present. The present case is reported here due to its rarity.
