ABSTRACT
The association between malignancy and tumour-related sarcoid reaction is well documented, characterised by non-caseating granulomatous disease in haematological and solid malignancies. Its occurrence in colon cancer is rare and of unclear clinical significance. Herein, we present a case report of a 32-year-old woman diagnosed with concurrent metastatic sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma and pulmonary granulomatous disease suggestive of a tumour-related sarcoid reaction.
