A colorectal endometriosis with a large polypoid lesion

Malignant mesenchymal tumors of oropharyngeal mucosa are rare. Those with fibroblastic and histiocytic differentiation in the skin are called atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) and in the soft tissue undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS). Here we present a case of an older patient with a history of multiple basal cell carcinomas and recently with a rapidly growing polypoid lesion in the mucosa of posterior oropharyngeal wall with AFX/UPS morphology. The differential diagnosis, histological pitfalls of this poorly characterized mesenchymal lesions, and the challenges associated with treatment are discussed.

Infiltrating Endometriosis

Introduction: Deep infiltrating endometriosis is a particular form of endometriosis that penetrates the peritoneal surface or it reaches the subserosal neurovascular plexus. Aim: The aim of the authors was to analyze the results of segmental colorectal resections performed for deep infiltrating endometriosis. Method: Between 2009 and 2012, 50 patients underwent segmental rectum or/and sigmoid resection for endometriosis. Results: 21 patients had ultralow rectal resection and 29 patients had low colorectal anastomosis or anterior resection. Concomitant intervention in other organs was required in all cases, including gynecologic procedures (n = 50), additional gynecologic (n = 47), vesical (n = 9) and ureteral (n = 18) resections. The mean number of endometriosis lesions was 2.4±1.8 per patient. In all patients fertility was preserved. Severe surgical complications (Clavien–Dindo stage III or more severe) occurred in 3 patients (6%). Conclusions: The results confirm that segmental bowel resection is an efficient and safe method for the treatment of deep infiltrating colorectal endometriosis. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(5), 182–186.
