'''Medullary colorectal carcinoma''' is a rare type of [[colorectal carcinoma]]. Precise incidence difficult to determine as there no strict criteria for diagnosis, especially if the tumour also contains conventional adenocarcinoma. Cases may not be recognised and diagnosed as poorly differentiated adenocarcinona instead.<ref name= | '''Medullary colorectal carcinoma''' is a rare type of [[colorectal carcinoma]].
