Villous Rectal Adenoma as a Rare Cause of Acute Renal Failure (McKittrick-Wheelock Syndrome)

Abstract: Fluid and electrolyte hypersecretion in a villous adenoma of the rectum was seen in a 72-year-old male suffering from acute renal failure. The patient was found to have prerenal uremia on admission, and received emergency hemodialysis. He then underwent systemic screenings for other possible diseases because of his severe emaciation. A barium enema examination revealed a large villous lesion of the upper rectum. Operative local excision of the tumor was performed. Renal function was restored after radical tumo… Show more

“…Dehydration, mucous diarrhea, symptoms of hyponatremia (lethargy, headache, weakness, nausea, muscle cramps and seizures), and hypokalemia (fatigue, paresthesia, cramps, ileus, vomiting, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias and electrocardiographic changes) are the major symptoms of the McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome[ 1 4 ]. Approximately 50 cases were reported in the literature[ 5 , 6 ], first described in 1954[ 7 , 8 ]. The cornerstone of the management of McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome is surgical resection of the tumor accompanied by fluid and electrolyte replacement.…”
