Two Cases of Advanced Colonic Carcinoma Presenting with Entero-Cutaneous Fistula

Abstract

The incidence and prevalence of colorectal carcinoma is rising day by day in India. Lack of screening program and awareness compel the patients to present at advanced stages. Entero-cutaneous fistula is a relatively rare presentation in the advanced stages of colorectal cancers. These patients are difficult to  treat  with  high  mortality  and  morbidity.  A  multidisciplinary  approach  is  required.  Surgery  in experienced hands is proven to be beneficial.
