Description
Summary:	This paper presents on case of adenocarcinoma at the site of colostomy in a patient treated by abdominoperineal amputation five years earlier due to rectal cancer. The case raised the doubt as to whether the carcinoma represented a late, local recurrence or a second metachronic neoplasia. The most frequent location and pathogenesis of each were analyzed. The role of follow-up of these patients in detecting cases such as the one presented here are discussed.
