Abstract

We report the case of a multi-metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon discovered pre-mortem in a patient with a history of multiple myeloma. This case gives the opportunity to discuss the prognostic value of histological typing of colorectal cancer and secondary neoplasms to chemotherapy and/or immunodepression.
