Patients with colon cancer rarely present with pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) without other manifestations or symptoms. The present paper reports a patient who presented with a 6-month history of fever. The patient was found to suffer from well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon. A few days after sigmoidectomy the fever subsided and the patient recovered. Investigation of the large bowel should always form part of the evaluation in patients with pyrexia of unknown origin.
结肠癌患者很少在没有其他表现或症状的情况下出现不明原因发热（PUO）。本文报告了一名有6个月发热病史的患者。该患者被发现患有乙状结肠高分化腺癌。乙状结肠切除术后几天，发热消退，患者康复。对不明原因发热患者进行评估时，大肠检查应始终作为评估的一部分。
