This tumor is less commonly found on the descending part of colon and about 15 - 30 % can progress to obstruct the passage of the colon and invade other organs and may cause perforation which may show sign of peritonitis. The majority of perforation cases occur in patients with acute obstruction, only in a rare setting of colonic cancer cases due to penetration of the tumor mass through the intestinal wall.
