Adenocarcinoma Of The Colon

Introduction: In Uganda, the Kampala Cancer Registry has reported a steady increase in the incidence of colorectal carcinoma(CRC) over the last few decades. The author reports a case of a 25 year old gentleman presenting with bowel obstruction and found to have mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon. This is followed by a literature review of the clinical and pathological characteristics of young age sporadic colorectal carcinoma (YSCC) and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma (HNPCC). Presentation of Case: This patient presented with a family history of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and with bowel obstruction. An emergency laparotomy involving a right hemicolectomy was carried out. The postoperative course of this patient was uneventful. Discussion: The typical histological features of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon were seen on the resected colon specimen. In addition this study reviews the literature regarding the clinical presentation, pathological characteristics, histology and prognosis of mucinous and medullary carcinoma of the colon. Conclusions: Mucinous adenocarcinoma happens to be the most common histological type of colorectal carcinoma in young adults. In Uganda, low risk young patients with symptoms should be screened for colorectal lesions. A high index of suspicion should therefore be taken in the diagnosis of colorectal malignancy in these patients.

Background. Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare neoplasm involving the peritoneum. Most PMPs are low-grade appendicular mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs). There have been no reports of PMP originating from a transverse colonic mucinous adenocarcinoma and causing metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma. Case Presentation. We report a 46-year-old woman who presented with a right abdominal mass of more than 4-month duration. Transverse colonic mucinous adenocarcinoma, PMP, and ovarian metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma were diagnosed. The patient’s diet was normal, and she had no abdominal pain or bloating. The abdomen mass increased in the month before treatment. After chemotherapy, the transverse colon mass and ovarian giant cyst were resected and about 2000 mL of gelatinous tumor tissue was removed. Postoperative histology confirmed PMP from the transverse colonic mucinous adenocarcinoma, ovarian metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma, and mesocolon metastatic cancer. Multiple lung metastases appeared 8 months after surgery. The patient died 29 months after surgery because of an inability to eat and poor nutrition. A systematic literature review of the management and outcome of all known similar cases is also presented. Conclusions. This is the first report of PMP originating from a transverse colonic mucinous adenocarcinoma. It was diagnosed during resective surgery, involved ovarian metastasis, and survival was short. We did an extensive literature review in order to describe the clinical characteristics, histopathological findings, genetic profile, and potential treatments of PMP caused by nonappendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma.

Introduction. Data are conflicting when assessing indications for colorectal self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) in managing acute malignant large bowel obstruction (MLO). In November 2014, European and American Societies published guidelines to aid in understanding which patients might benefit from colorectal stenting. Yet, there remain marked disparities in clinical practice.Methods. A web-based survey was sent to Gastroenterologists and Surgical Specialists across Quebec to assess physicians’ knowledge and adherence to the indications for colonic SEMS placement in the management of MLO using eight clinical scenarios.Results. Out of 112 respondents, 74% preferred surgical intervention in young, healthy individuals with MLO. Advanced age and comorbidities motivated 56.3% (95% CI 47.1–65.5%) of participants to opt for SEMS placement. In palliative settings of patients undergoing chemotherapy including bevacizumab, a minority of respondents followed guidelines, 12.5% (95% CI 6.4–18.6%) for young patients and 25.0% for elderly patients (95% CI 17.0–33.0%). The pooled overall adherence to guidelines was 50.4% (95% CI 40.7–59.3%).Conclusion. This survey suggests that guidelines recommendations are not being implemented by at least half of specialists involved in the care of patients with MLO. Future studies should attempt to identify possible barriers responsible for this impaired knowledge translation and tailored educational initiatives planned accordingly.

Abstract Background: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome(PJS) is a very rare autosomal dominant disorder with predisposition to multiple neoplasms. Gastric-type adenocarcinoma (GAS) is a less common carcinoma of the cervix than squamous cell carcinoma, which is more aggressive and has lower 5 year survival rate than usual type endocervical adenocarcinoma (ECA), and unrelated to human papilloma virus(HPV) infection as well. We present a 32 year-old patient with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome who was found to have gastric-type adenocarcinoma of the cervix.Case presentation: A 32-year-old woman without sexual life ever who was diagnosed Peutz-Jeghers syndrome when she was two years old presented with watery discharge for more than 6 months. A tumor around 6cm was found on the cervix and she was diagnosed gastric-type mucinous adenocarcinoma of the cervix clinical stage IB3. She was treated with artery intervention chemotherapy for one course followed by radical surgery and then systematic chemotherapy.Conclusions: The case suggests more thorough cancer screening for patients with PJS as the disorder is rare and has high risk of malignancies. Young patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, including those without sexual life, who have watery discharge or bleeding should be screened for cervical carcinoma even if cytologic results or human papilloma virus (HPV) is negative.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhages

Background: Although hemorrhages associated with cervical and thoracic intraspinal schwannomas are typically localized to the subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH) or subdural hemorrhages (SDH) compartments, rare intratumoral bleeds may also occur. Methods: In the literature, we found and analyzed multiple factors for 13 cases (e.g., epidemiological, clinical, and pathological) of cervical schwannomas with intratumoral hemorrhages (ITH). We added the 14th case of a 35-year-old female with along segment cervical schwannoma with ITH who presented with acute quadriplegia and respiratory decompensation. Results: These 14 patients averaged 51.77 years of age, 60% were male, and the tumor involved 2.83 segments. The incidence of SAH and ITH was noted in five cases each, while SDH’s were very rare. The pathological characteristics were consistent with the diagnosis of cellular schwannomas with S-100 positivity. The clinical outcomes were good (100%) in all the cases, including the one presented (modified McCormick score III). Conclusion: Cervical schwannomas with ITH are rare, and the surgical outcomes in such patients are good-excellent (>90%). The histopathology is always of prime importance and decisive in establishing and confirming the etiology of such ITH.
