Abstract

A 37-year-old male presented with acute lower right abdominal pain. A CT-scan showed a cecal mass. During laparoscopic right colectomy, multiple liver lesions and peritoneal deposits were seen. Histology confirmed pT4aN0 cecum carcinoma, but the liver lesions were consistent with sarcoidosis, and the peritoneal deposits were suggestive of benign mesothelioma.
