Abstract
A case is reported of a patient who presented with recurrent tumour at the site of a laparoscopy port where there had been no evidence of intra-abdomi nal tumour. Possible mechanisms of recurrence are postulated including a ha ematogenous spread of the primary tumour and the implantation at the port s ite.
