AI Article Synopsis

  • An 80-year-old woman was diagnosed with anal canal cancer after presenting with melena and underwent robot-assisted surgery that confirmed stage IIIb cancer.
  • A year later, she developed local recurrence in the perineum and was also found to have ascending colon cancer, prompting additional surgeries including laparoscopic resections.
  • Post-surgery, her condition improved, and there were no signs of recurrence for six months.

Article Abstract

The patient was an 80s woman. She visited our hospital with chief complaint of melena, and further evaluation revealed anal canal cancer. We performed robot-assisted abdominoperineal resection(D3 lymphadenectomy)and lateral lymph node dissection. The pathological diagnosis was anal canal cancer, muc>por1>tub2, T3N1bM0, pStage Ⅲb. One year after the surgery, she had a mass in the soft tissue of perineum on CT scan and PET-CT showed abnormal accumulation, which was diagnosed as local recurrence. At the same time, she also had a mass with abnormal accumulation in ascending colon, and it was diagnosed as ascending colon cancer. In both cases, we judged radical resection was possible, and the policy of surgery was decided. First, laparoscopic ileocecal resection was performed. The local recurrence lesion became a mass, invading the soft tissue of the perineum, the posterior wall of the vagina, and the cervix. So, we performed laparoscopic excision of local recurrent region together with the uterus and the posterior wall of the vagina. Based on the result of pathological examination, the patient was diagnosed with ascending colon cancer(tub1, pT1bN1aM0, pStage Ⅲa), and recurrence of anal canal cancer. The postoperative course is good and there are no signs of recurrence for 6 months after the operation.
