case_images: The patient underwent an urgent colonoscopy which showed a malignant-looking lesion with severe stenosis at the proximal rectum 10 cm from the anal verge (Figure 1).

case_images: A biopsy was taken and revealed few signet ring cells with CK7 histochemical stains being positive while CK20 and CDX2 were negative (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)).

case_images: fig5
case_images: In view of the almost complete bowel obstruction, the patient underwent laparoscopic diverting loop ileostomy to relieve the symptoms, which also showed disseminated peritoneal metastatic deposits (Figure 5) that were biopsied and turned out to be metastatic carcinoma, showing sheets of pleomorphic malignant signet ring-like cells on histopathology.
case_images: (a) Peritoneal deposit biopsy showing discohesive cells with plasmacytoid and signet ring morphology. (b) Peritoneal deposit biopsy showing sheets of malignant cells positive for estrogen receptors (ER).

case_images: CK7 and estrogen receptors (ER) were positive (Figures 6(a) and 6(b)) and CK20, GCDFP-15, E-cadherin, WT-1, and Her-2 Neu were negative on immunohistochemistry staining.
