Stage IV colorectal cancer presenting after necrotizing soft tissue infection

We present a case of CRC diagnosed more than 4 years after the development of NSTI. There are documented cases of NSTIs concomitant with a preexisting CRC. In this case, however, the patient's initial presentation was an NSTI followed by later diagnosis of CRC. A previously treated NSTI that is not healing appropriately may be an early indicator for CRC.PMID:33456176 | PMC:PMC7785173 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2020.1805675
