Colorectal cancer is rare in children and adolescents. It is usually associated with predisposing genetic factors, aggressive histology, and poor prognosis. Two familial syndromes are best characterized, hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer and familial adenomatous polyposis. They are autosomal dominant inherited disorders. We report the case of a 14-year-old girl having a Dukes D adenocarcinoma of the rectum with peritoneal extension and bone metastases.
