Abstract: Perforated colon cancer is considered as disseminated cancer. Though colon cancers are common, their presentation with perforated peritonitis is uncommon. Traditionally, disseminated cancers have been managed by conventional open surgery. We, herein, report the case of a 41 years old male patient who presented to the hospital with perforated transverse colonic malignancy and was managed by laparoscopy. The rationale for reporting this case is to underscore the fact that with appropriate case selection, even perforated colon cancers can be managed by minimal invasive surgery, in advanced setups by an experienced team.
