Abstract
A 7-year-old boy presented with hematochezia and abdominal
pain. A 3.7-cm-sized mass was identified in the ascending colon by
abdominal computed tomography and colonoscopy. The patient
underwent surgical resection. Pathological examination revealed a
low-grade perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa). PEComa in
the colon is very rare. Only a few cases have been reported so far. An
effective treatment method for this rare tumor has not been established
yet. The patient received adjuvant interferon-αimmunotherapy for 1
year. He has been tumor-free for 26 months since the initial diagnosis.
This report is the first documented case of the use of interferon-αfor
pediatric PEComa of the colon.
