Carcinoma of the rectal pouch following restorative proctocolectomy

Abstract: A case of adenocarcinoma developing in the pouch following restorative proctocolectomy is presented. This seems to be the third reported in the literature. The carcinoma developed from the remnants of precancerous rectal mucosa left in the muscular rectal cuff. The patient had been suffering from ulcerative colitis for 17 years prior to the development of the malignancy. He presented with features of subacute intestinal obstruction. Diagnosis was by sigmoidoscopic examination of the pouch and biopsy. He was tr… Show more

“…One proved to be a squamous carcinoma of the anus, and the other was felt to arise from retained anal crypt mucosa, is Three subsequent cases of adenocarcinoma in the pelvic pouch have been reported as well, all apparently arising from retained rectal mucosa. [19][20][21] Treatment of pelvic reservoir cancers has not been well defined, because of the relative rarity of its occurrence. All reported patients with pelvic pouch cancer eventually underwent abdominoperineal resection, with excision of the pelvic pouch and formation of an end ileostomy.…”

“…Seven of these pouches were performed for UC [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]and 3 for FAP [8, 9, 10]. The resultant cancer was histologically categorized as adenocarcinoma in 9 patients [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]and lymphoma in 1 [5].…”

“…Seven of these pouches were performed for UC [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]and 3 for FAP [8, 9, 10]. The resultant cancer was histologically categorized as adenocarcinoma in 9 patients [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]and lymphoma in 1 [5]. The surgical technique in 8 cases was rectal mucosectomy with endorectal IPAA [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9]and non-mucosectomy stapled IPAA in 2 cases [6, 10].…”

“…In at least one patient, a long rectal mucosectomy had been performed ( l 3), and in at least another one, severe dysplasia of the rec-260 tum was present at the time the muco~al proctectomy was performed ( 14 ). In the third report, neither the extent of the mucoscctomy nor the presence or absence of dyspl;1sia at the time of operation are mentioned ( 15 ).…”

“…Moreover, daytime contin ence tends to be c loser to normal than nighttime continence, hut nighttime cont inence a lso improves dramatically with time and is superior m young men, patients with polyposis and those with less diarrhea prcoperativcly than in older women, coli tis patients and those with more stools prcoperatively (5). One would predict that the risk of adenocarcinoma developing after !PAA is nonexistent, but, to dare, three patient~ have dcvelt)peJ adcnocarcinomas of the anorcctal area after deoanal anastomosis (13)(14)(15). In at least one patient, a long rectal mucosectomy had been performed ( l 3), and in at least another one, severe dysplasia of the rec-260 tum was present at the time the muco~al proctectomy was performed ( 14 ).…”
