    Abstract:
    The patient, 49-year-old woman, who was referred to our hospital in August 2016 because of left abdominal pain. The abdominal CT scan showed a large tumor, over 10 cm dimeter at splenic flexure of the transverse colon, and colonoscopy detected transvers colon cancer(por, cT4b, cN1, M0, cStage III A). There was no distant metastasis, although invasion to the retroperitoneum and the abdominal wall. Left hemicolectomy was successfully performed with D3 lymph node dissection. Pathological diagnosis was endocrine cell carcinoma, pT4a(SE), pN0, M0, pStage II . The Surgical margin was completely free of carcinoma(R0). The postoperative course was uneventful, and she has been in good health with no recurrence for 8 months after surgery. Neuroendocrine cell carcinoma is recommended for adjuvant treatment based on small cell lung cancer, but there are not effective clinical trials nor established treatment methods because it is rare disease.
