COLORECTAL ADENOCARCINOMA DEVELOPING IN A YOUNG FEMALE WITH OVERLAP SYNDROME AND VERY EARLY ONSET-INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE: A CASE REPORT

We present a 4-year-old female diagnosed with very-early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD), ulcerative colitis type, and overlap syndrome based on clinical presentation, blood and stool studies, diagnostic endoscopies and liver biopsy.

Initial treatment included Prednisone, 6-mercaptopurine and Ursodiol. Treatment was escalated to include multiple biological agents which were stopped prematurely due to non-adherence.
