After further evaluation, he was diagnosed with right sided colon adenocarcinoma complicated by peri-colonic abscess formation. He was treated with hemicolectomy without immunotherapy. Considering the scarcity of data concerning colonic abscess formation and colorectal adenocarcinoma, more research is needed on this dual presentation. These authors reinforce that in older patients presenting with acute abdomen, colorectal cancer should be noted as a differential
