“…Recent reports suggest that a shift in location of colon carcinoma to the right side is being observed. 37 Our recent four patients and those of Van Voorhis and Cruickshank 29 reflect this trend in that five of six patients in these series occurred in the right and middle colon.…”

“…Together with proctosigmoidoscopy, these three procedures can confirm the diagnosis in approximately 75% of all cases. 37 Up to 60 cm of distal large bowel can be examined with the flexible sigmoidoscope with less patient discomfort than the rigid scope, which can visualize only 25 cm of distal bowel. In addition, colonoscopy and barium enema are important adjuvants in diagnosis, and sonography may also be of benefit.…”

“…72 Radiation therapy after palliative resection and the triple therapy combination of surgery, palliative resection, and chemotherapy are two approaches still under investigation. 37 The use of any drug during pregnancy with potential adverse effects on fetal growth and development is undesirable. If the necessity exists for early and aggressive chemotherapeutic treatment, to some extent maternal well-being must take precedence over fetal considerations.…”

Although rare during pregnancy, colorectal carcinoma is one of the leading three types of cancer in women. In the medical literature, there are only 28 reports of carcinoma of the colon above the rectum concurrent with pregnancy. During the last 8 years in our community, four pregnant women have received care by us for this usually lethal disease. These cases are presented and the pertinent considerations of this pregnancy complication based on the entire collected experience are reviewed. The possibility of this disease must be considered in the obstetric as well as the gynecologic patient.

A 19-year-old pregnant woman presented with an enlarging lesion in the right mandible. She was examined by a general dental practice resident in the hospital outpatient clinic and subsequently managed by the resident as an inpatient. Both moral and ethical questions arose because of the discovery of the lesion early in the patient's pregnancy. Delay on the part of the patient while she contemplated termination of the pregnancy, compounded by loss of contact with her, eliminated the possibility of removal of the lesion during the second trimester. The patient elected to continue the pregnancy, and an en bloc procedure was used to remove the ameloblastoma.
