Ileostomy adenocarcinoma in Crohn's disease.

Purpose: Adenocarcinoma of an ileostomy is rare with less than 50 reported cases in the literature. Ileostomy adenocarcinoma in Crohn's disease is even more rare, with only 4 reported cases. We present a case of ileostomy adenocarcinoma with lymph node metastasis occurring 51 years after proctocolectomy and Brooke ileostomy in a female with Crohn's disease.

Adenocarcinoma of the Cecum with Rare Splenic Metastasis.

Isolated splenic metasisis is a rare finding in colorectal carcinoma. We report a case of metastatic cecal adenocarcinoma to the spleen. In spring 2011, a 53-yearold woman underwent en bloc right hemicolectomy with partial omentectomy.

Primary colon adenocarcinoma with metastatic disease to the rectum followed by the left axilla.

Introduction: Adenocarcinoma of the colon can metastasize to multiple organs but very rarely metastasizes to the axilla.

Case: We present a case of a 56-year-old male with metastatic colon adenocarcinoma that metastasized to the rectum and then the axilla. Three years after initial diagnosis and treatment of right colon mucinous adenocarcinoma a metastatic mass was found in the rectum.

Metastatic melanoma to the gastrointestinal tract: role of surgery as palliative treatment.

Background: Malignant melanoma is an uncommon metastatic tumor found in the gastrointestinal tract but most commonly involves the small bowel. Less than 5% of patients with metastases to the gastrointestinal tract are diagnosed antemortem. Clinical presentation could be an acute abdominal emergency such as a bowel obstruction, intussusception, bleeding and perforation or chronic symptoms with weight loss, abdominal pain and anemia.
