    Abstract:
    The patient was a 77-year-old woman. She visited her family doctor with a complaint of bloody stools, and was pointed out a Type 3 colon cancer in the cecum with a colonoscopy. In addition, an enlarged lymph node(#203)was found on the right side of the superior mesenteric vein(SMV). Laparoscopic surgery was initiated, and when the patient was moved to vascular processing, a firm adhesion of the lymph node(#203)was observed on the right side of the SMV. A small laparotomy was added, and a partial combined resection of the SMV was performed en bloc to complete the ileal resection. Histopathological findings showed T4b(transverse colon)N3M0, pStage Ⅲc, and metastatic lymph node(#203)showed evidence of invasion to the SMV. Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered, but lung metastases appeared 4 months and liver metastasis appeared 29 months after surgery. The patient was transferred to a different hospital for best supportive care(BSC)at 34 months after surgery.
