Abstract
The paper describes a case of colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC) in a twelwe-year-old girl, at first diagnosed as IBD. CRC represents 1-2% of paediatric cancers. Generally, it occurs after the age of 10 years of life. Symptoms of presentation include abdominal pain, haematochezia or positive haemoccult, diarrhoea, anaemia, weight loss mimicking IBD or acute appendicitis. The etiopathogenetic, biological, histological, and clinical characteristics are different from the adult CRCs. The prognosis is poor and the five-year mortality rate still exceeds 60%.
