Abstract:

Colonic primary mesenchymal tumors are very rare. Although they resemble epithelial tumors both clinically and macroscopically, they can be distinguished by their pathological features. They are treated with adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, depending on risk factors after resection. Rare cases of pleomorphic sarcomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with colon cancer.
