Abstract
An 80-year-old woman complaining of a right inguinal induration and pain was performed an inguinal lymph node resection. Histological examination with immnohistochemistry revealed that the lymph node was metastasis of colon carcinoma. With total colonoscopy, she was diagnosed as advanced transvers colon cancer with right inguinal lymph node metastasis. She was performed a right hemi-colectomy. She was dead with peritoneal metastasis of colon cancer 2 years and 1 month later. We report this case that was diagnosed having transverse colon cancer with inguinal lymph node metastasis.
