Abdominal Necrotizing Fasciitis Secondary to Perforated Colon Cancer.
Necrotizing Fasciitis (NF) is a severe, potentially fatal soft tissue infection leading to death of muscles, fascia, and surrounding tissue. Perforated colon cancer (CC) is an exceedingly uncommon cause of NF. Here, we present a case of NF secondary to perforated colon cancer. This case emphasizes the significance of prompt identification, aggressive surgical excision of affected tissue, and consideration of rare, yet potentially fatal underlying etiologies in the management of NF as well as underscores the importance of CC screening to prevent devastating complications and mortality.
