Patients are usually asymptomatic when malrotation of gut is detected during investigations or operation. Also, it can cause longstanding abdominal symptoms and volvulus of gut. Rarely malrotation of gut may present with gastrointestinal neoplasm. We present a 60 year old female with carcinoma caecum along with intestinal malrotation.
