title: Adenocarcinoma of the colon: an unusual case.

The case is unusual in several features including the age at onset, the lack of predisposing familial or pre-malignant conditions, and the subsequent course of the patient. The case illustrates the apparent spontaneous regression of an adenocarcinoma.
