An 80-year-old man had peritoneal metastases of a resected rectal carcinoma. Cytoreductive surgery was performed, with a wedge resection of the sigmoid colon. Postoperatively he developed subcutaneous emphysema of the neck. A CT scan showed a pneumoperitoneum with air in the mediastinum, due to leakage of the sigmoid colon.
