Giant urothelial carcinoma of unknown origin invading the sigmoid mesocolon – a case report

چکیده
Case Report We report a rare case of urothelial carcinoma invading the sigmoid mesocolon in a 60-year-old female admitted to our department. The patient presented with a 25-cm intra-abdominal mass and 6-cm ulcerated lesion at the top of the umbilicus. Laparotomy was performed which demonstrated a huge polycystic and solid tumour of the sigmoid mesentery infi ltrating the sigmoid colon and appendix. Appendectomy and resection of the tumour with an infi ltrated sigmoid loop were performed. A right ovarian cyst – not contiguous to the aforementioned tumour – was found at the time of the operation and excised. We also removed the 6-cm skin lesion in the umbilical area.
