Isolated Splenic Metastases From Colon Cancer
|
Metastatic tumors of the spleen are rare and usually occur in the presence of disseminated visceral metastases. The liver is the most common site of metastatic spread from colon cancer. We report a case of isolated intrasplenic metastasis from sigmoid colon cancer and review the possible reasons for the rarity of splenic metastasis. This represents the fifth reported case of isolated splenic metastasis from colon cancer. Splenectomy may be justified in presence of isolated metastatic disease, since it is an operation with a low complication rate and may provide potential long-term survival in colon cancer.

Carcinoma of the Right Colon: A Change in Characteristic Configuration?
|
Carcinoma of the colon occurring to the right of the middle colic vessels is usually described as morphologically and clinically distinctive from cancers occurring in the left colon. Cancers of the right colon are characterized as polypoid tumors that are discovered in the search for occult blood loss, whereas carcinomas of the left and sigmoid colon are described as scirrhous and often annular in configuration, giving rise to obstruction as the characteristic clinical presentation. A personal experience with constricting annular lesions of the right colon that were considered atypical has led to a review of the total experience in colonic resections for cancer (excluding abdominoperineal resections for carcinoma of the rectum) at one metropolitan university medical center. Of 152 colonic resections for cancer within a 39-month interval, 57 resections were for cancer of the right colon and 95 for cancer of the left colon. One half of the cancers of the right colon were annular, whereas only one third of those of the left colon were so described by operative, pathologic, and radiologic criteria. Differences in clinical presentation of cancers of the right and left colon are probably attributable more to the form and function of the colon in each anatomic region than to any characteristic configuration of the tumor itself.

Volvulus of the Colon
|
Three cases of volvulus of the sigmoid are reported, treated by intubation and laparotomy. Attention is called to the possibility of conservative management without laparotomy by intubation via proctoscope. Prompt diagnosis by physical and x-ray findings, and the absence of leukocytosis or gangrene seen by proctoscope, make the conservative treatment ideal. Review of literature shows advisability of resection only in recurrent cases during free interval, or in those cases with existing gangrene. In the latter type, the Mikulicz resection, while safest and most easily done, can be used only where all the gangrenous loop can be extruded, and this is seldom possible due to the location of the distal loop strangulation. End-to-end and side-to-side anastomoses are attended with real difficulties due to the condition of the proximal bowel and fixation of the distal loop. None of our cases was attended by gangrene.

Lipoma of the Colon With Intussusception
|
Lipomas, while uncommon, are the second most common benign tumor of the colon after adenomas. They are usually located in the cecum or ascending colon of older individuals, but may be seen (in order of decreasing frequency) in the transverse, descending, or sigmoid colon. The vast majority of lipomas are submucosal. A few arise from the serosa. They commonly have a short, broad pseudopedicle caused by the pull of the colonic motor activity. This tumor does not usually become symptomatic until it leads to episodic intussusception. Abdominal pain is usually the presenting symptom. Repeated intussusceptions eventually produce ulceration of the mucosa. Blood then appears in the stools. Unfortunately the correct diagnosis is seldom arrived at before operation, leading to more or less extensive colectomies for suspected adenocarcinoma. Lipomas can be removed by simple colotomy or by myotomy and enucleation. Attempts to identify this entity preoperatively are therfore not a vain exercise.

Spontaneous Perforation of the Colon
|
We describe the clinical presentation and surgical and pathologic findings in seven cases of spontaneous perforation of the colon. The dominant categories found were (1) rupture, usually at the cecum, associated with paralytic ileus, and (2) an idiopathic variety, invariably at the sigmoid. Though the onset of cecal rupture in paralytic ileus is insidious and may be anticipated, that of the idiopathic is not. If the clinical triad of sudden urge to defecate, hematochezia, and peritonitis occurs in a previously asymptomatic individual, idiopathic colonic rupture should be ruled out. An abdominal roentgenogram showing free intraperitoneal air strongly confirms the diagnosis. Prompt surgical repair of the rupture usually leads to recovery.

Penetrating Injuries to the Colon: Analysis by Anatomic Region of Injury
|
The preferred method for the treatment of penetrating injuries to the colon remains a source of controversy. In our retrospective review of 65 patients with penetrating colon injuries, 33 patients were managed by colostomy formation, 30 were treated by primary repair, and two had exteriorized repair with early return to the abdominal cavity (drop back). The anatomic location of injury was ascending colon in 19 (29%), transverse colon in 20 (31%), descending colon in 22 (34%), and multiple sites in four (6%). The average penetrating abdominal trauma index (PATI) was 24 (ascending colon injuries, 23; transverse colon, 26; descending colon, 24; and multiple colon sites, 28). Overall septic morbidity was 15/65 (23%). Colostomy closure was later done in 32/33 (97%), with a morbidity of 7/32 (22%). The mean length of hospital stay for primary repair was ten days and for colostomy (including both required hospital stays), 26 days (P < .05). These data suggest that primary repair is as safe as colostomy formation for the management of penetrating colon injuries, regardless of anatomic site of injury.

Transverse Colon Volvulus: Diagnosis and Treatment
|
ABSTACT: Although considered rare, transverse colon volvulus (TCV) may actually comprise as many as 10% of all cases of colon volvulus. Correct identification clinically is necessary in order to reduce the high mortality. Unlike the treatment of sigmoid volvulus, conservative treatment of TCV is thought to be inadequate. Furthermore, simple proximal colostomy may lead to bowel necrosis. Bowel resection, rather than detorsion procedures, is advocated. The barium or diatrizoate enema examination can readily differentiate TCV from sigmoid and cecal volvulus if one pays careful attention to detail.

Outpatient Bowel Preparation For Elective Colon Resection
|
colon; To determine the safety and cost-effectiveness of outpatient preoperative bowel preparation with polyethylene glycol-electrolyte lavage solution, we retrospectively analyzed 726 cases of colectomy done by colon and rectal surgeons between July 1987 and July 1991. Included were 319 patients who had elective segmental or total abdominal colectomy with primary anastomosis. Patients who required protective proximal stoma were excluded. Patients requiring emergency surgery, colostomy closure, and restorative proctocolectomy were excluded. Patients were separated into two groups equally matched by age, sex, procedure done, and comorbidity: 145 had bowel preparation as outpatients and 174 as inpatients. Both groups had similar numbers of days hospitalized, days receiving nothing by mouth, and days requiring nasogastric intubation or gastrostomy tube, as well as similar postoperative complications. There was one wound infection, one anastomotic leak, and one death in each group. Cost of outpatient preparation was approximately $40. Cost of inpatient preparation, including a semiprivate room, was approximately $400. Outpatient preparation with polyethylene glycol-electrolyte lavage solution and oral antibiotics before elective colon resection can be done with equivalent safety and at a substantial cost savings.

Metastatic Pancreatic Carcinoma Presenting as Colon Carcinoma
|
Determining the origin of poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas remains a challenge for the pathologist. This manuscript reports the use of a panel of specific immunohistochemical stains to determine the primary site of a tumor in the colon. A 45-year-old man had a right hemicolectomy for adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining documented that the lesion was a metastasis from a primary pancreatic adenocarcinoma-an unusual pattern of spread. The case emphasizes the important use of immunohistochemistry in identifying the primary source of lesions, allowing for appropriate treatment and staging.

Perforation of the Colon After Blunt Trauma
|
: Blunt rupture of the colon follows a direct blow to the abdomen. Physical findings suggesting peritoneal irritation are usually present early in the postinjury period and lead to further evaluation and operation. In unresponsive patients, physical findings may be masked, diagnosis delayed, and outcome compromised. Perioperative antibiotics and early celiotomy with complete intra-abdominal exploration and primary repair of the colon injury usually provide excellent results.

When 100 patients with cancer of the right colon were compared with 100 patients with cancer of the left colon, the latter had a higher incidence of obstruction, liver metastasis, and fatal local recurrence. Patients with cancer of the right colon had larger primary tumors and a longer symptomatic period before operation. While more patients with carcinoma of the right colon survived ten years, the difference was not significant statistically.

Surveillance Colonoscopy After Resection for Colon Carcinoma
|
colon; Periodic surveillance colonoscopy was used to assess 207 asymptomatic patients with a previous history of colorectal carcinoma for 2 to 8 years. Thirty-five percent of the patients had a neoplastic lesion >=5 mm in diameter on initial colonoscopy. Synchronous or metachronous carcinomas were found in 11 patients; and of these second carcinomas, 82% were localized. The risk of a second carcinoma developing did not correlate with a finding of neoplastic polyps on the initial colonoscopy. Six recurrent carcinomas at the anastomosis were demonstrated. The stage of the recurrence correlated well with the stage of the primary carcinoma. Two negative colonoscopies at 1-year intervals were necessary to ensure that the colon had been cleared of neoplastic lesions. This study shows that surveillance colonoscopy in patients with a history of colorectal carcinoma has a high yield and is capable of detecting localized, asymptomatic carcinoma. After two annual colonoscopies fail to show neoplasms, surveillance colonoscopy may be scheduled at 3- to 5-year intervals.

Patient Participation in Colon Cancer Screening Programs
|
Background. The objectives of this study were to survey compliance and identify factors that influence continued participation with periodic colon cancer screening guidelines once patients are seen for their first screening.
Methods. The study group consisted of 95 patients who had initial fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) and flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS) in 1991 as part of a gastroenterologist-directed, aggressively managed colon cancer screening registry. Regular notices are sent to patients and their primary care provider for annual FOBT and FS at 3- to 5-year intervals.
Results. Of 70 (74%) reviewed, 2 had died and 3 were having colonoscopic surveillance. Thirty-two of the 65 (49%) contacted eligible study subjects were no longer participating. Reasons stated were as follows: unaware that screening was due (14), too busy (6), unpleasant experience (3), and change to insurance provider that did not cover screening (9 [commercial-3, managed care-1, Medicare-5]).
Conclusions. Despite aggressive program management, 44% of nonparticipators reported that they were unaware that screening was due. Sixteen percent of those who did not continue to participate had graduated to Medicare, which did not cover screening costs. Factors that influence continued participation need to be considered in the design of public education and marketing promotions.

colon; Solid tumors rarely present with fever. Among those that do, carcinoma of the colon has been infrequently reported as a primary cause of fever. This patient had carcinoma of the right colon with prolonged fever, but no evidence of infection or gastrointestinal symptoms. At surgical resection, a caecal adenocarcinoma was found with metastases to the mesentery and 10 of 40 lymph nodes. The patient's fever resolved after 3 days. The patient remained healthy during 8 years of follow-up. Right-sided colon cancer is not often considered in the complete evaluation of fever of undetermined cause.
