Abstract
A 60 year-old woman was admitted with severe bilateral leg edema. She had no obvious abdominal discomfort and had a good appetite. On further workup, a diagnosis of mucinous colon cancer with a giant fistula to the duodenum secondary to the tumor invasion was made and a right hemicolectomy associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. Although patients with advanced colon cancer usually present with abdominal symptoms, the chief complaints of this particular case was only leg edema. This was probably due to the malnutrition secondary to direct excretion of the undigested food into the colon through the fistula.
