Cutaneous fistulisation of colon carcinoma in a 92-year-old man with worsening right-sided abdominal pain and tenderness. CT detected a segmental, non-stratified circumferential thickening (thick arrows) at the ascending colon, which infiltrated the peritoneum, opened (arrows in A, B) into an abscess (*) in the inflamed abdominal wall (+), and communicated to the skin EFO (arrowhead in B) through an ECF (arrow in C). Liver metastases (thick arrow) were present. The patient was treated supportively with positioning of colostomy-type bag at the EFO (Partially reproduced from Open Access ref. no [35])
