Abstract

We report two cases of Schloffer tumor that required resection after radical colon cancer surgery because of suspected lymph node recurrence on contrast-enhanced (CE) CT and 18F-FDG-PET/CT. Case1 is a 69-year-old man with sigmoid colon cancer pStage IIA, and case2 is a 61-year-old man with descending colon cancer pStage IIIB.

Keywords: Schloffer tumor; colorectal cancer; tumor extirpation.
