Abstract

Rectal mucinous adenocarcinoma (MAC) is a relatively uncommon type of rectal cancer, characterized by abundant extracellular mucin. At the time of presentation, they are found to be at an advanced stage and hence are difficult to treat and usually carry a poor prognosis. We report a case of rectal MAC with an unusual early presentation for which laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection was performed.
