A unique case report of sigmoid colon cancer metastasising to the breasts, ovaries and stomach in pregnancy
Colorectal cancer in pregnancy is an infrequent phenomenon. It is estimated to occur in 1 in 13,000 pregnancies, with 80% representing rectal cancer. We report a rare case of a young pregnant female presenting with primary sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma metastasizing to the breast, ovaries, and stomach. Diagnosing colorectal malignancy in pregnancy is challenging, given the similarities in symptoms. Cancer in pregnancy may take on a more malignant course with rapid progression. Physicians must recognise the potential of this deadly disease lurking undetected in patients of this vulnerable population.
