A giant villous adenoma: case mimicking rectosigmoid malignancy; radiological survey to diagnosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Villous adenomas are benign lesions, which are difficult to interpret because of their malignancy potential. They have similar radiological findings to malignant lesions. Usually, villous adenomas are asymptomatic although they may cause rectal bleeding like malignant tumours. We present a case of giant villous adenoma to evaluate the contribution of its radiological features including double contrast barium enema, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examinations for the differential diagnosis.

A case report of a giant rectal adenoma causing secretory diarrhea and acute renal failure: McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome
BACKGROUND The McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome is a rare depletion syndrome caused by a secretory villous adenoma or a carcinoma of the rectosigmoid tract. An aggressive hydroelectrolyte rebalancing is often needed, and curative treatment is obtained only with complete removal of the lesion, by endoscopy or surgery. Low clinical suspicion often delays the diagnosis, resulting in detrimental compli...

متن کاملA Giant Mucinous Adenocarcinoma Arising within a Villous Adenoma of the Urachus: Case Report and Review of the Literature
We present an exceptional case of a giant urachal tumor, consisting of both villous adenoma and mucinous adenocarcinoma of the urachus. The tumor was incidentally discovered during investigations for renal failure. Initial transurethral biopsies showed only a villous adenoma of the urachus. Although the biopsies showed no malignancy, a radical cystoprostatectomy and broad excision of the urachu...
متن کاملGiant villous adenoma presenting as McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome and pseudo-obstruction.
McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome is a rare but recognised complication of hypersecretory rectosigmoid villous adenoma. Fluid and electrolyte imbalances require close monitoring because of large-volume losses of water, sodium and potassium. We report an unusual presentation of the syndrome associated with the development of acute pseudo-obstruction of the colon, presumably due to electrolyte dysfunc...
متن کاملThe Red Rectum (Carpet villous adenoma of the rectum)
Carpeted villous adenomas of rectum may be extensive and not suitable for transanal excision or Endoscopic mucosal resection. We present a case of such lesion extending from anorectal junction to rectosigmoid region. After biopsy and staging, this was managed by a sphincter saving procedure, i.e. a combination of transabdominal total mesorectal excision and transanal intersphincteric dissection...
