Abstract

Colon cancer and pregnancy is a very weird disease. We found only one specific article about this association[1]. The diagnosis is difficult because except for bleeding signs, the symptoms could be mimetize by the signs and symptoms of the pregnancy in it. We present two cases assisted in our Department and analyzed their evolution. Case One   A 30-year-old woman who in September 2014 was diagnosed with advanced colon adenocarcinoma undergoing a 27-week´s pregnancy. The patient presented tumor apparently of adnexal origin so a laparotomy was done performing adnexectomy with capsular injury of the cyst during the procedure. The pathological anatomy reveals mucinous adenocarcinoma of intestinal origin. In later stratification studies, sigma mass and hepatic metastases were observed with identical pathological results.
