Gan to Kagaku Ryoho. Cancer & Chemotherapy 2019 January
A 56-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because abdominal CT showed wall thickening of the ascending colon. Colonoscopyshowed type 4 colon cancer, diagnosed as poorlydifferentiated adenocarcinoma bybiopsy , with circumferential stenosis. Enhanced CT after admission also showed obstructive ileus and lymphadenopathy leading to a paraaortic lesion, but no other distant metastases were seen. Right hemicolectomywas performed. Histological examination showed poorlydifferentiated adenocarcinoma extending from the hepatic flexure to the terminal ileum, with marked invaded vessels and stromal fibrosis, which was diagnosed as type 4 colon cancer of scirrhous and lymphangiosis types. On the 10th postoperative day, he developed lymphangitis carcinomatosa. Intensive treatment including steroid therapy was not effective, and he died of respiratory failure on the 26th day. Type 4 colon cancer is rare and has very poor prognosis. We report a case and literature review.
