BACKGROUND We experience many cases of liver metastasis from colorectal cancer, but synchronous occurrence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and liver metastasis from a rectal cancer is extremely rare. We herein report a case of ICC coinciding with a liver metastasis from a known rectal carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION A 68-year-old man was referred to our hospital for investigation of mul...

Background and Objectives: The etiology, pathophysiology, nomenclature and clinical manifes-tation of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is poorly understood. Aim: To examine the pathology of mucosal changes and clinical features of this syndrome. Materials and Methods: The mucosal biopsies of 19 pati...

Recently, stapler anastomosis is the method of choice in low or ultra low resection for rectal carcinoma. In this study, risk of rectal stricture formation after double stapling colorectal anastomosis was evaluated. We here with presented an invitro investigation and a retrospective analysis of 91 cases of rectal carcinoma treated by low or ultra low anterior resection with hand-sewn or double-...

Although conditions leading to bicytopenia and pancytopenia secondary to infiltrative diseases of the bone marrow are seen, a profound anemia or hemorrhages are frequently observed in such cases. As bone marrow infiltrations may be associated with primary hematological diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma, rarely they may also be associated with solid tumor metastases. Here we have pr...

HYPOTHESIS Selected clinicopathologic characteristics of locally treated rectal cancers are predictive of recurrence. DESIGN Case series review with median follow-up of 6 years. SETTING University medical center. PATIENTS Fifty-eight patients with rectal cancer who underwent local excisions from February 1, 1982, to December 31, 1998.

PURPOSE Xanthogranulomatous prostatitis (XP) is a rare form of nonspecific granulomatous prostatitis that can clinically mimic high-grade prostatic carcinoma. It is difficult to diagnose it definitely in clinical settings. METHODS We report a case of XP with prostate-rectal fistula and review the relevant literatures. RESULT A 75-year-old man presented with rectal bleeding when he urinated....

OBJECTIVE Our goal was assessment of the preoperative staging of rectal carcinoma with MR with double surface coil, MR with endorectal coil, and intrarectal ultrasound (IUS) as correlated with histopathologic findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen patients with rectal carcinoma had preoperative evaluation using intrarectal ultrasound (all 15 patients), MR with double surface coil alone (6 pa...

Gastroendoscopy revealed multiple polyps involving the stomach, small intestine, colon and a rectal adenocarcinoma. A diagnosis of PJS was made based on intestinal polyps ...

results twelve original studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. the current literature suggests that the learning curve of robotic rectal surgery varies between 15 and 44 cases and is probably shorter to that of laparoscopic rectal surgery. conclusions there are only a few studies assessing the learning curve of robotic rectal surgery and they possess several differences in methodology and ou...
