Overview

Case report reveals a large transverse colon lesion, suggesting aggressive surgical intervention may be vital.

Key Points

  • The patient presented with a large abdominal mass in the transverse colon, leading to a diagnosis of hepatoid adenocarcinoma.
  • Histopathology confirmed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with partial hepatoid differentiation and mismatch repair deficiency.
  • Post-hemicolectomy, the patient had no recurrence or metastasis observed over 30 months of follow-up.
  • Surgeons should consider aggressive intervention for hepatoid adenocarcinoma due to its rarity in the colorectum.
