| Popis: | We present a rare case of primary colorectal linitis plastica presenting as an acute admission to hospital with a wide range of systemic symptoms, sudden rapid deterioration and subsequent mortality. A postmortem examination revealed a primary linitis plastica of the colon and rectum with diffuse metastatic disease. To our knowledge, this is the first report of primary colorectal linitis plastica presenting as an acute deterioration as a result of extensive metastatic disease. |
