CORRALES HERNANDEZ, Yarisdey. Colon Tumor. A Two Cases Report and Literature Review. Medisur [online]. 2013, vol.11, n.1, pp. 69-79. ISSN 1727-897X.

Colon cancer is now a major public health issue in developed countries. It is the fourth most common cancer in the world, and also in Cuba. We report two cases of digestive disorders and changes in bowel habits, which were indicated to a gastroscopy, showing a colon narrowing. Patients underwent colonoscopy, which reported the presence of colon tumor. Both of them underwent surgery and segmental resection of the tumor. Pathological anatomy studies reported a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the colon. Given the rise in the incidence of colorectal cancer, the aim of this study is to report two cases of abdominal pain produced by colon tumors.

Palabras clave : colonic neoplasms; adenocarcinoma; epidemiology; case reports; review.
