Any malignancy, including tumors in the colon, usually presents systemically in the traditional way of all tumors and locally according to the specific function of the organ involved. Important clues may be missed if one does not realize that, for some unknown reason, the malignancy may mimic endocrine and other specialized body cells. Any atypical feature of these systemic manifestations should be viewed with suspicion and investigated completely to establish that it is not due to an underlying malignancy.
