Abstract
Spontaneous sigmoid colon perforation after cytoreduction surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a rare complication. It is more commonly seen with mitomycin-based HIPEC. This case study's patient presented with pus discharge at the drain site after 4 weeks of surgery. The symptoms persisted after conservative treatment. High suspicion after the feculent smell of the discharge fluidled to the prompt diagnosis of enterocutaneous fistula. There was limitedperforation with abscess formation, followed by fistula formation. The patient was treated successfully with surgery.Entities:
