Abstract:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common
gastrointestinal cancers in the world. In Malaysia, it is the
third most common cancer for both men and women.
Curative surgical resection with en bloc removal of the
regional lymph nodes remains the mainstay of treatment
with 5-year survival rate of 70%-90% for local disease.
1
Nonetheless, about 1 in 3 curatively treated CRC patient will
suffer from local recurrence or metastasis .
2 Among the usual
sites of recurrence are liver, lungs, local and/or regional
intraabdominal and retroperitoneal lymph nodes.
3 We report
a rare case of colon cancer recurrence to the left kidney after
curative surgery and adjuvant therapy, which mimicked left
renal cell carcinoma.
