Gluteal abscess commonly follows intramuscular injections with contaminated needles. Carcinoma cecum is known to present with pericolic abscess due to microperforations and may rupture intraperitoneally. Gluteal abscess secondary to perforated carcinoma cecum with pericolic abscess is extremely uncommon. A 50-year-old woman who was receiving intramuscular iron injections for anemia presented with a 10×10-cm abscess in the right gluteal region and a vague mass in the right iliac fossa. After investigations, a diagnosis of perforated carcinoma cecum with pericolic abscess tracking into the right gluteal region was made, and incision and drainage were done. Fine-needle aspiration cytology from the cecal growth revealed adenocarcinoma. Unfortunately, the patient was not willing to undergo definitive treatment. This case is being reported for its rarity and as an uncommon etiology for a common condition.

Article Synopsis
- Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer deaths, and this study examines the genetic profiles of 40 Persian patients with metastatic CRC to identify mutations in tumor-related genes.
- The research found that common mutations included variants in the APC and TP53 genes, with specific variants linked to different tumor locations, particularly KRAS with rectosigmoid and ERBB2 with colon cases.
- The results underline the genetic diversity in this population, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment strategies based on genetic findings.

Introduction: Colonic actinomycosis is an uncommon chronic infection associated with granulomatous inflammation resulting multiple abscesses and sinuses. Common modes of presentation include weight loss, malaise, abdominal pain, and abdominal mass, which might mimic neoplasia.
Case Presentation: A 60-year-old female presented with painful lump in right iliac fossa (RIF) for 3 weeks and acute complete bowel obstruction for 3 days.

Purpose: Risk of malignant tumors increase with age;hence, careful examination of older patients should be consdiered when identifying the causes of acute appendicitis. Here, we report a case of a patient with cecum cancer with synchronous metastases to the small intestine that was found during acute appendicitis.
Case Report: A 74-year-old man presented with right lower abdominal pain.

Background: The vast majority of colon cancers occur in pre-existing adenomas. Little is known about the impact of adenoma type on behavior and outcome of subsequent carcinomas. The present study aimed to assess characteristics, behavior, and outcome of colon adenocarcinoma based on histologic type of pre-existing adenoma.
