ObjectivesTo analyze the value of amide proton transfer (APT) weighted and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging in evaluation of prognostic factors for rectal adenocarcinoma, compared with diffusion weighted imaging (DWI).Materials and MethodsPreoperative pelvic MRI data of 110 patients with surgical pathologically confirmed diagnosis of rectal adenocarcinoma were retrospectively evaluated. All patients underwent high-resolution T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), APT, IVIM, and DWI. Parameters including APT signal intensity (APT SI), pure diffusion coefficient (D), pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D*), perfusion fraction (f), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were measured in different histopathologic types, grades, stages, and structure invasion statuses. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy, and the corresponding area under the curves (AUCs) were calculated.ResultsAPT SI, D and ADC values of rectal mucinous adenocarcinoma (MC) were significantly higher than those of rectal common adenocarcinoma (AC) ([3.192 ± 0.661%] vs. [2.333 ± 0.471%], [1.153 ± 0.238×10-3 mm2/s] vs. [0.792 ± 0.173×10-3 mm2/s], and [1.535 ± 0.203×10-3 mm2/s] vs. [0.986 ± 0.124×10-3 mm2/s], respectively; all P<0.001). In AC group, the APT SI and D values showed significant differences between low- and high-grade tumors ([2.226 ± 0.347%] vs. [2.668 ± 0.638%], and [0.842 ± 0.148×10-3 mm2/s] vs. [0.777 ± 0.178×10-3 mm2/s], respectively, both P<0.05). The D value had significant difference between positive and negative extramural vascular invasion (EMVI) tumors ([0.771 ± 0.175×10-3 mm2/s] vs. [0.858 ± 0.151×10-3 mm2/s], P<0.05). No significant difference of APT SI, D, D*, f or ADC was observed in different T stages, N stages, perineural and lymphovascular invasions (all P>0.05). The ROC curves showed that the AUCs of APT SI, D and ADC values for distinguishing MC from AC were 0.921, 0.893 and 0.995, respectively. The AUCs of APT SI and D values in distinguishing low- from high-grade AC were 0.737 and 0.663, respectively. The AUC of the D value for evaluating EMVI involvement was 0.646.ConclusionAPT and IVIM were helpful to assess the prognostic factors related to rectal adenocarcinoma, including histopathological type, tumor grade and the EMVI status.

Aim. A clinical observation to highlight the importance of detailed examination in patients with functional gastrointestinal symptoms.Key points. A 28-yo female patient was admitted with complains of left ileal pain, abdominal distention and up to 4-day stool delay. The complaints had long been interpreted as clinical manifestations of irritable bowel syndrome. No significant abnormalities were revealed in outpatient check-up (general and biochemical blood panels, stool test, abdominal ultrasound, oesophagogastroduodenoscopy). Colonoscopy was performed on admission, with diagnosis of rectal adenocarcinoma. The patient had a prompt surgical intervention, repeated courses of polychemotherapy and is currently followed by an oncologist and coloproctologist. No relapse signs have been reported.Conclusion. Patients with the complaints satisfying the Rome Criteria Revision IV for functional gastrointestinal diseases should have a thorough examination as per recommendations of the Russian Gastroenterological Association and Russian Association of Coloproctologists.

Choroidal metastasis from rectal cancer is a rare occurrence with limited literature on appropriate evidence-based treatment options. We describe the case of 44-year-old man who presented with left-sided painful vision loss who was found to have left choroidal and multiple lung metastasis from an unknown primary which was later found to be rectal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract Background Local excisions are important in a tailored approach to treatment of rectal neoplasms. In cases of low risk T1 local excision facilitates rectal-preserving treatment. Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) is the most recent alternative developed for local excision. In this study we evaluate the results after implementing TAMIS as the routine procedure for local excision of rectal neoplasms. Methods All patients who underwent TAMIS from January 2016 to January 2020 at St. Olav’s University Hospital were included, and clinical, pathological and oncological data were prospectively registered. The primary endpoint was local recurrence, and the secondary endpoint was complications. Results There were 76 patients (42 men, mean age was 69 years [range 26–88 years]), The mean tumour level was 82 mm (range 20–140 mm) from the anal verge measured on rigid proctoscopy, and mean tumour size was 32 mm (range 8–73 mm). Three patients experienced complications needing intervention (Clavien–Dindo > 3A). Seventeen patients had rectal adenocarcinoma, 9 of whom underwent R0 completion total mesorectal excision (cTME). Fifty-five patients had an adenoma, 3 of whom developed recurrence (5.4%) within 12 months. All recurrences were treated successfully with a new TAMIS procedure. In addition, TAMIS was used in treatment of 2 patients with a neuroendocrine tumour, 1 patient with a haemangioma and 1 patient with a solitary rectal ulcer. Conclusions TAMIS surgery is associated with a low risk of complications and a low recurrence rate in rectal neoplasms. In cases of adenocarcinoma, R0 cTME surgery is feasible in the sub-group with high risk T1 and T2 tumours.

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) are rare spindle cell mesenchymal neoplasms of presumably fibroblastic origin with undefined malignancy potential and rare metastasis. Their most frequent localization is in the pleura, where they have been first described. The incidence of solitary fibrous tumors localized in liver is extremely low. The clinical picture of SFT is nonspecific and is not due to the anatomical location of the tumor and it's size.In the majority of cases these tumors are benign. However, a number of them still may have signs of malignancy: an aggressive course with possible local recurrence and distant metastasis. The main method of treatment of hepatic solitary fibrous tumor (as well as SFT of other localization) with it's resectability is surgery. Radical removal of the tumor in the majority of cases leads to recovery. Subsequently, the operated patients should be subjected to strict dynamic observation with regularity as in malignant neoplasms (MN).The importance for chemotherapy and radiation therapy in the treatment of hepatic solitary fibrous tumor has not been determined in clinical guidelines to date.There are isolated reports of the use of chemotherapy or radiation therapy for the treatment of cases when tumor resection is not radical or there are signs of malignant neoplasm.In literature, there are numerous reports of a combination of a solitary fibrous tumor of any localization with malignant neoplasms of other organs in the same patients.In this report, we represent a clinical case of a 64-year-old woman, who had a solitary fibrous tumor of the liver and highly differentiated rectal adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent resection of the first segment of the left lobe of the liver. After a month and a half, transanal excision of the villous tumor of the rectum. The pathologic and immunohistochemical examination of the liver tumor revealed a malignant solitary fibrous tumor. After researching villous tumor of the rectum - a highly differentiated adenocarcinoma with a depth of invasion of the submucous layer of the intestinal wall up to 1/3 (T1sm1 according to Kikuchi). During dynamic observation for twenty-five months after the operation, the patient has no signs of tumor recurrence and metastasis.
