%X Background: Cancer of the colon is the second cause of death due to cancer worldwide, alter lung cancer in males and breast cancer in females. It is not possible to confirm the patient＊s diagnosis without the result of image tests such as barium enema, ultrasound cytology or biopsy of the lesion. Objective: To characterize cancer of the colon through images. Methods: Descriptive study which included all the patients discharged from ※Dr. Gustavo Alderegu赤a Lima§ General Hospital with a confirming diagnosis of cancer of the colon. The variables under study were: sex, age, past and family history of the disease, its way of presentation, location, image findings and histological diagnosis. Shi square was used for a 95 % exactitude where p<= 0,05. Results: Cancer of the colon was more frequently detected in the age group of 50 to 59 years of age in both sexes meanwhile in the age group 70 to 79 years of age the disease affected males. It was mainly associated to idiopathic ulcerative colitis and to family history of cancer of the colon and cholecystectomy. Suggestive symptoms were predominant in the findings. The most frequent location was in the left part of the colon. There was correlation between the results of the ultrasound and barium enema the X-rays.Conclusion: Ultrasound was of great usefulness, but barium enema is the test of choice in our environment for the diagnosis of cancer of the colon. Fundamento: en el mundo, el c芍ncer de colon es la segunda causa de muerte por c芍ncer, despu谷s del de pulm車n en el hombre y el de mama, en la mujer. No se puede confirmar que un paciente tiene este c芍ncer sin realizarle rayos X de colon por enema, ultrasonido y citolog赤a o biopsia de la lesi車n. Objetivo: caracterizar por imagenolog赤a al c芍ncer de colon. M谷todos: estudio descriptivo que incluy車 a todos los enfermos egresados del Hospital General Universitario ※Dr. Gustavo Alderegu赤a Lima§, con la confirmaci車n diagn車stica de c芍ncer de colon. Se analizaron las variables: sexo, edad, antecedentes patol車gicos personales y familiares asociados, forma de presentaci車n del c芍ncer, localizaci車n, hallazgos imagenol車gicos y diagn車stico histol車gico. Se emple車 el estad赤grafo Chi-cuadrado para un 95 % de precisi車n donde p<= 0,05. Resultados: el c芍ncer fue detectado con mayor frecuencia en los grupos de edades de 50 a 59 a os en ambos sexos, entre los 70 y 79 en el sexo masculino; hubo mayor asociaci車n con la colitis ulcerativa idiop芍tica, los antecedentes patol車gicos familiares de c芍ncer de colon y las colecistectom赤as; predominaron los s赤ntomas sugestivos sobre los hallazgos.
