A case of a patient with adenocarcinoma in an abscess cavity that resulted from perforated diverticulitis of the descending colon is described. Serial barium-enema studies over a nine-year period show the diverticulosis, perforation, abscess cavity, and finally the adenocarcinoma in the abscess cavity. Although it is infrequent, the possibility of carcinoma must be considered in cases of patients who have unhealed pericolonic abscess cavities.

A patient with extensive perianal extra-mammary Paget's disease was treated by wide local excision of the perianal skin. No underlying associated adenocarcinoma was identified, and the patient is clinically free of disease five years after treatment. A second patient had a small focus of Paget's disease confined to a hemorrhoid. The necessity for histologic evaluation of all anal lesions is emphasized.

This report is a retrospective evaluation of 12 case histories. All patients had been subjected to laparotomy on suspicion of acute appendicitis. The operative situations seemed to corroborate clinical expectations: an inflamed ileocecal process was assumed to be a result of performation of a gangrenous appendicitis. In three patients a primary adenocarcinoma arising from the appendiceal base was the incidental histologic finding postoperatively. In three other patients this inflammatory-looking process was related to a cecal carcinoma. In six patients a carcinoma existed unrecognized as the basic disease, these patients being subjected to intra-abdominal drainage only or in connection with appendectomy. In five instances a fecal fistula was the main persisting symptom of postoperative morbidity, in one patient even as long as two years after laparotomy. The problem in diagnostic verification of the initially unidentified carcinoma is illustrated. Attention is directed towards avoiding a false feeling of security in the presence of inflammatory manifestations in the right lower abdominal quadrant, which may misleadingly suggest a ruptured appendix.

Two additional cases of adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon occurring at the site of ureterosigmoidostomy are reported. The high risk of this complication occurring in patients who have undergone ureterosigmoidostomy is described. The possible shortness of the interval from diversion to development of an adenocarcinoma, especially in those cases involving carcinoma of the bladder, is emphasized. It is strongly recommended that careful follow up of such patients should begin within several years of establishment of the ureterosigmoidostomy.

A 54-year-old man underwent abdominoperineal resection for carcinoma of the rectum. Three months later, neurologic signs and symptoms developed. A brain scan, as well as angiographic studies, demonstrated a space-occupying lesion in the right parietal area. A solitary tumor was removed at craniotomy. Histologic examination revealed a metastatic adenocarcinoma with a rectal primary tumor. For two years the patient remained well, but then signs of local perineal recurrence developed. Treatment with cobalt irradiation and chemotherapy was unsuccessful. Autopsy revealed local recurrence with numerous distant metastases; however, examination of the brain failed to show a recurrent metastatic focus.

An unusual case of adenocarcinoma of the appendix is presented. Abnormal growth of the tumor toward the abdominal wall resulted in a cutaneous mass, which was the first manifestation of the neoplasm.

A case of a woman with Gardner's syndrome, originally manifested by multiple adenomatous polyps of the colon, is presented. She underwent subtotal colectomy at 14 years of age. Over the next 15 years she had a composite odontoma, an impacted supernumerary tooth, two epidermal inclusion cysts, multicentric paillary-follicular adenocarcinoma of the thyroid, two tubulovillous adenomas of the duodenum in which argyrophilic cells were a prominent feature, and an adenomyoma of the gastric antrum. The presence of all of these lesions in one patient expands the spectrum of lesions seen with Gardner's syndrome and supports the concept of a generalized abnormality of growth regulation as the cause of the syndrome.

The case of a patient who had an unsuspected perforated adenocarcinoma of the appendix discovered during operation for a sigmoid carcinoma is presented. The problems in diagnosing carcinoma of the appendix are discussed and the literature is reviewed.

A 68-year-old man had a tumor in the ascending colon, following schistosomiasis 58 years earlier. Right hemicolectomy was performed. Examination of the specimen showed adenocarcinoma with schistosomiasis japonica. A total of 276 such cases in medical literature were reviewed. There were significant differences between carcinoma with schistosomiasis and ordinary carcinoma in symptoms, age range, sec ratio, and histopathologic findings. These suggest that schistosomiasis induces carcinoma. Chronic inflammation and epithelial proliferation due to intestinal schistosomiasis may be a promoting factor rather than a direct carcinogenic factor in the development of adenocarcinoma of the large intestine.

A case of adenocarcinoma arising in a sigmoid diverticulum is presented. A patient who had colonic diverticulosis was found to have one diverticular lumen distended by tumor mass. Microscopically, this was seen to be adenocarcinoma arising from the diverticular mucosa. Apparently, this is the first reported case of adenocarcinoma arising in an intact diverticulum of the colon.
