Abstract:

We report a case of a metastatic macroscopic tumor thrombus of the portal vein arising from a primary colorectal cancer seen in one of the patients at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute, Philippines. The primary lesion is a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ascending colon. Microscopic tumor thrombus from a colorectal cancer is quite rare compared to a tumor thrombus arising from a primary Hepatocellular carcinoma. Prognosis of patients having such tumor thrombus from a primary colorectal cancer is still unknown, but the primary surgical management is still liver resection with resection of tumor thrombus.
