The patient had a history of insomnia, skin cancer, hemochromatosis, hyperparathyroidism, osteoarthritis, skin cancer, left and right knee replacements, hypothyroidism, and tonsillectomy. The patient’s chief complaint was rectal bleeding. Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was performed and tumor measuring 3.9 x 3.3cm was detected.
