[Signet ring cell carcinoma of the rectum in a 15-year-old youngster].
Primary colonic signet ring cell carcinoma is a rare neoplasia. The prognosis is particularly poor with only very few patients surviving more than one year following diagnosis. We report a case of primary signet ring cells carcinoma of the rectum, detected in a 15 year old young male, particularly interesting for the patient young age and for good prognosis.
