Most young adult patients presented with large tumors on imaging, increasing the likelihood of identification on CT. Tumors initially presenting in the rectum with enlarged lymph nodes and/or with distant metastases on CT were more often associated with advanced surgical stage and poorer prognosis. A majority of patients presented at an advanced stage, most commonly stage 4A, and had progression of disease at follow-up.
