Popis: Summary Colorectal mixed endocrine-glandular neoplasms, a subtype of neuroendocrine tumors, are mainly diagnosed based on pathological characterization. The rarity and unusual presentation of mixed endocrine tumors makes their prognosis relatively poor, and an optimal management strategy for the tumors has yet to be devised. Here, we report a case of cecal mixed adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma with ileal tumor seeding, lymph nodes, and left iliac crest metastasis. After undergoing right hemicolectomy, target therapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy for adenocarcinoma, the patient survived for more than 15 months and remains alive at the time of writing.
