AB Peritoneal  carcinomatosis  from  a  colorectal  primary  represents  one  of  several  metastatic  pathways.  Colorectal  cancers  may  spread  by  lymphatic  and  hematogenous  dissemination  in  addition  to  contiguous  and  transperitoneal  spread.  The  most  common  metastatic  sites  include  the  liver,  lung,  regional  lymph  nodes,  and  peritoneum.  Although  peritoneal  carcinomatosis  is  often  considered  a  late  stage  of  disease  progression,  transcoelomic  spread  of  colorectal  cancer  is  reported  to  be  encountered  in  7%  of  patients  undergoing  primary  surgery.1
