We report the first case to our knowledge where an ascending colorectal tumour presented as a necrotising lower leg infection.
We describe the unusual presentation of a previously unknown caecal carcinoma in a 69-year-old Caucasian man, which presented as a rapidly spreading limb infection due to a perforated caecal adenocarcinoma. This case presented a diagnostic dilemma and we document the investigation and management in our patient and compare this to the current published literature.
Although rare, this case highlights how leg swelling and in particular, thigh and gluteal swelling, have the potential to be an unusual presentation of a caecal carcinoma.
据我们所知，我们报告了首例升结肠肿瘤表现为小腿坏死性感染的病例。
我们描述了一名69岁白种男性患者中一例此前未知的盲肠癌的不寻常表现，该盲肠癌因盲肠腺癌穿孔而表现为迅速蔓延的肢体感染。该病例带来了诊断难题，我们记录了对该患者的检查和治疗过程，并将其与当前已发表的文献进行比较。
尽管罕见，但该病例凸显了腿部肿胀，尤其是大腿和臀部肿胀，有可能是盲肠癌的一种不寻常表现。
