Retroperitoneal abscess as an initial manifestation of carcinoma of the colon is unusual. Inappropriate management of an unrecognized lesion is invariably fatal. Awareness of this uncommon presentation can lead to a precise preoperative diagnosis and appropriate therapy. The possibility of a perforated colon carcinoma should be considered in instances of unexplained retroperitoneal mass and infection, and a barium enema performed on all such patients. The authors report 3 cases and illustrate the radiological features of retroperitoneal abscesses due to perforated colon carcinoma.
腹膜后脓肿作为结肠癌的首发表现并不常见。对未被识别的病变处理不当往往是致命的。认识到这种不常见的表现形式可导致术前做出准确诊断并进行适当治疗。在出现无法解释的腹膜后肿块和感染时，应考虑结肠穿孔癌的可能性，并对所有此类患者进行钡灌肠检查。作者报告了3例病例，并阐述了因结肠穿孔癌导致的腹膜后脓肿的放射学特征。
