Abstract: Colon cancer, the fourth most common cancer in Mexico, presents important health problems. This article discusses the case of a 40 - year - old male patient with altered bowel habits and hematochezia, who was diagnosed with a left colon tumor near the splenic flexure through colonoscopy. After diagnosis, the patient underwent left colectomy and splenectomy. Pathological analysis revealed a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the colon. This case highlights the surgical approach and treatment strategies for splenic flexure colon cancer.
