Core Tip

Core Tip: Mucinous adenocarcinoma (MAC) is a relatively rare pathological subtype of colorectal cancer. Patients with rectal MAC are more likely to have abdominal lymph node metastasis, peritoneal metastasis, and abdominal implantation and have a worse prognosis and lower survival rate. Early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of rectal MAC can improve the prognosis of patients. We present a rare case of left waist subcutaneous soft tissue metastasis, hoping to provide some experience for the early clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
