The Authors report their experience about 20 cases of multiple large bowel adenocarcinomas, 9 of them synchronous and 11 metachronous. After developing a brief reexamination of epidemiology and etiopathogenesis, they explain their diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. The necessity of a real complete and exact radiological and endoscopical preoperative study, being also early, is at last emphasized, as well as an accurate postoperative follow-up.
