There are three proposed theories regarding the etiology of collision tumors currently, including the \"double primaries\", the \"biclonal malignant transformation\", and the \"tumor-to-tumor carcinogenesis\" theories. Prognosis of collision tumors remains unclear. To our knowledge, this is the fifth case of a collision carcinoma involving the cecum and ileocecal valve and the first report of a collision carcinoma including both mucinous adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumor of the cecum and the ileocecal valve.
