Article Synopsis
- - A 51-year-old man experienced symptoms like rectal bleeding and anemia, but initial gastroscopy and colonoscopy couldn't identify major problems; imaging revealed abdominal lymph node swelling and a left ischial bone tumor.
- - A small intestine endoscopy found a dark tumor in the jejunum, leading to a biopsy that confirmed the rare primary jejunal epithelioid angiosarcoma through specific immunohistochemical staining.
- - Despite surgical resection and chemotherapy, the patient passed away 7 months later due to metastasis progression, highlighting the rarity and poor prognosis of this gastrointestinal malignancy, which can be difficult to diagnose without proper immunohistochemistry.
Aim: We aimed to investigate whether later weekdays are related to worse short-term outcomes after elective right hemicolectomy for colon cancer.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed adult patients who underwent elective right hemicolectomy for colon cancer between 2012 and 2017. Records lacking details about surgical mortality were excluded, and multiple imputation was performed for other missing data (variables).
