Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the outcomes of elective laparoscopic surgery (LPS) for colorectal cancer patients aged 80 and older, focusing on both short- and long-term survival rates.
- LPS was found to significantly improve overall survival and disease-free survival compared to open surgery, with shorter hospital stays and lower 90-day mortality rates.
- The findings indicate that laparoscopic procedures are a safer option for older patients, resulting in fewer complications and less need for blood transfusions post-surgery.
We present the case of an 80-year-old retired consultant histopathologist who presented to us with a malignant umbilical mass 8years following resection of a sigmoid adenoma. The report details initial investigation and management of the umbilical mass and the subsequently discovered pelvic recurrence. Our conclusions of its origin, as a malignant transformation due to seeding of the original sigmoid adenoma, show the slow progression of some colorectal tumours; and the importance of obtaining a complete specimen intra-operatively.
