PRIMARY DE NOVO ADENOCARCINOMA OF THE COLON MEASURING 8 MM IN DIAMETER WITH LYMPH NODE METASTASES : REPORT OF A CASE

Colonic adenocarcinomas measuring less than 10 mm are rare. Herein, we report a carcinoma measuring 8 mm in diameter associated with subserosal extension through a “locusminorisresistentiae” and metastases to lymph nodes, an association not previously reported. No residual adenomatous tissue was found, suggesting ade novocarcinoma.
