Core Tip
Core Tip: Situs inversus totalis is a rare anomaly in which structures are located opposite to their usual positions. It is not a premalignant condition and the association with colorectal cancer is rare. We here report a case and review the literature. In sum, a 53-year-old woman presented with colorectal cancer and situs inversus totalis and underwent a complete examination after admission. The patient then underwent laparoscopic radical resection of sigmoid colon cancer and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The final pathological report showed stage T4aN0M0. Postoperative chemotherapy was administered and no evidence of recurrence was observed during 18 mo of follow-up.
