The central hypothesis explored in this paper is that colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease. The initial clue to this heterogeneity was provided by genetic findings; however, embryological and physiological data had previously been gathered, showing that proximal (in relation to the splenic flexure) and distal parts of the colon represent distinct entities. Molecular biologists have identified two distinct pathways, microsatellite instability (MSI) and chromosomal instability (CIN), which are involved in CRC progression. In summary, there may be not one, but two colons and two types of colorectal carcinogenesis, with distinct clinical outcome. The implications for the clinicians are two-folds; 1) tumors originating from the proximal colon have a better prognosis due to a high percentage of MSI-positive lesions; and 2) location of the neoplasm in reference to the splenic flexure should be documented before group stratification in future trials of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stage II and III colon cancer.

Chilaiditi's Syndrome

Purpose: Our aim was to describe the radiographic features of lobar agenesis of the liver. Material and Methods: Six patients with lobar agenesis of the liver, 5 right- and one left-sided, are presented. CT was used to confirm diagnosis. Chest radiography, barium meals, and urograms were also analyzed. Results: In right-sided agenesis, the following were observed: a) hammock or U-shaped deformity of the stomach; b) colonic interposition of the diaphragm (Chilaiditi's syndrome); and c) reversal of the cranial orientation of the colonic hepatic flexure compared to the splenic flexure. The right kidney was higher in position than the left in both right- and left-sided lobar agenesis. Conclusion: Our radiographic findings can provide a multidisciplinary approach in the identification of this anatomic anomaly.
