Schistosomiasis und Siegelringzellkarzinom der Ileozökalklappe

Abstract: A 24-year-old male Egyptian complained of cramp-like upper abdominal discomfort and weight loss (3 kg) over 4 weeks. Physical examination merely gave evidence of the weight loss and of a slightly prominent gas-filled abdomen, mild diffuse abdominal tenderness and considerable borborygmus. Radiology of the intestines revealed chronic subileus of the small intestine caused by stenosis of the ileocaecal valve, which was impassable by coloscope. Biopsy suggested schistosomiasis of the ileocaecal valve. Examination… Show more

“…The overall examination of the specimen showed an ulcerated tumour, S. mansoni ova in a cancerous tumour and colonic submucosa, where eggs were seen more in tumour tissue than in normal tissue. This case is consistent with the conditions of the infection, whereby intestinal Schistosomiasis induces various pathologic conditions, including carcinoma [11,15,17,42,45,46], lymphoma [15,47] polyps [17,48,49], carcinoid [43] and pedunculated teratoma [43].…”

“…The changes of dysplastic are considered as the pathological basis for the malignant probability of Schistosomal colitis and these changes are found in long-term ulcerative colitis [11,41]. Chronic intestinal Schistosomiasis is noted as potentially a pre-cancerous condition [42,43] and many investigators believe that the mechanism of injury caused by Schistosoma is due to the endogenous production of toxins by eggs rather than a direct carcinogenic action of the eggs [43]. On the other hand, Matsuda believed that Schistosomal ova also displayed some effects on carcinogenesis [17,44].…”
