The pediatric colonoscope could not completely traverse this large mass due to tumor obstruction and alteration in the normal colon anatomy. b Upper endoscopy showed a large malignant ulcerated mass (marked by asterisk) with no bleeding in the second part of the duodenum. c Part of the surgical specimen including colon (marked by single arrow), duodenum (marked by double arrow), with the mass (marked by asterisk) with a diffusely mucinous appearance. d Hematoxylin and eosin stain of primary colonic adenocarcinoma (viewed at ×40) with large pools of mucin evident. The tumor was 14 cm, low grade mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon with loss of mismatch repair proteins and high microsatellite instability.
