Résumé
Colorectal small cell carcinomas are very rare neuroendocrine malignancies of the colon or rectum. They have poor prognosis due to the aggressive and highly recurrent nature of the disease. It is a malignancy that is also poorly understood with limited literature, and thus there is no consensus in management. This case report presents the clinical features and radiological images of an otherwise healthy 74-year-old gentleman with a rare and aggressive 112-mm rectosigmoid small cell carcinoma with evidence of metastatic disease. This report will also discuss the most current and pertinent diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations from the literature.
