There are few descriptions of association between chagasic megacolon and colon cancer. We report a case of obstructive abdomen caused by adenocarcinoma of the left colon in chagasic megacolon. A review of the literature revealed 8 cases of this association and, analyzing together the series of findings of cancer in chagasic organomegalies, we found a frequency of 4.8% in megaesophagus and 0.1% in megacolon.

Wegener’s granulomatosis is characterized by a granulomatous arteritis involving the upper and lower respiratory tracts, progressive glomerulonephritis and systemic symptoms attributable to small vessel vasculitis. Although multisystemic manifestations are frequent, involvement of the gastrointestinal tract is uncommon. Cases have been reported of intestinal perforation, ulceration and hemorrhage. A patient whose initial presentation of Wegener’s granulomatosis was odynophagia secondary to esophageal vasculitis is described. Endoscopy revealed multiple punched out ulcerations in the esophagus, which resolved with standard therapy for systemic Wegener’s granulomatosis. There are only two previous reports of symptomatic esophageal vasculitis in patients with Wegener’s granulomatosis. These reports illustrate the need to consider odynophagia as a reflection of disease activity as opposed to complications of immunosuppressive therapy.
