Necrotizing fasciitis of the anterior abdominal wall: an atypical presentation of sigmoid colon cancer

Colorectal cancer is fast rising to be one of the most common form of cancer in Malaysia, especially of those in the elderly age group, beyond the age of 40, with a peak incidence at 50 years of age. In Malaysia, the most common site of tumour presentation is the Sigmoid Colon and many patients p...
