Malignant neuroepithelioma of the colon.
A rare case of malignant peripheral neuroepithelioma originating from the right colon is presented. The patient underwent right hemicolectomy followed by combination chemotherapy and there has been no evidence of tumour recurrence or metastases during three years of follow up. Emphasis is given to the extremely unusual location of this tumour and the favorable clinical outcome.
