Abstrakt: Background: Necrotizing colitis (NC) with perforation is a rare complication of the obstructive cancer of the right colon.
Case Description: We report here a case of a 45-year-old female patient of mucinous adenocarcinoma of ascending colon, which presented as acute NC with perforation proximal to obstructing colonic carcinoma with their imaging features on computed tomography (CT). The purpose of this article is to highlight the role of CT in distinguishing an ischemic and a tumoral segment in the carcinomas complicated by proximal bowel ischemia.
Conclusion: Imaging plays a great role in distinguishing an ischemic and a tumoral segment in carcinomas complicated by proximal bowel ischemia. The identification of NC will help to accurately stage colonic cancer.
