A 47 year old female with papillary thyroid carcinoma was referred to our department for post-treatment whole body iodine scanning. The acquired images revealed a focal zone of intense radiotracer uptake in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. SPECT/CT fused slices showed a focal zone of the radioiodine (131I) uptake in the right colon wall. Colonoscopy revealed a pedunculated po...

Colorectal cancer, also called colon cancer or bowel cancer, includes cancerous growths in the colon, rectum and appendix. It is the second leading cause of death caused by cancers and the third most common form of cancer in the United States [1]. Computer tomographic colonography (CTC) is a minimally invasive technique and rapidly evolving diagnostic tool for the location, detection and identi...

background: routine screening colonoscopy is on the rise and pathologists have to deal with the ever larger numbers of excised colonic polyps. it is very important to optimize the patients’ individual treatment and further surveillance. pathologists play a critical role in management, as most of the clinical decisions concerning colonic polyp management are based on pathologic findings. one of ...

Colorectal cancer is an ideal disease to be screened. It is the second most common cancer after lung and is the most common fatal malignancy in non-smokers. Colorectal cancer arises from a benign process, an adenoma or a polyp. A polyp is probably present for 10-20 years before it becomes malignant. Not all polyps become cancerous and it is not possible to predict with certainty which ones carr...

Solitary neurofibromal colonic polyps are a rare entity, particularly outside the setting of neurofibromatosis type 1. The clinical significance of such lesions has not yet been established. Though typically benign tumors, neurofibromas have been reported to undergo malignant transformation, with an increased risk of malignancy when associated with neurofibromatosis. In this case report, we pre...

INTRODUCTION Gastrointestinal lipomas, though rare are the second most common benign tumors of the colon after adenomatous polyps. The diagnosis is difficult and is often mistaken for adenomatous polyp or cancer (1). Management of incidentally detected asymptomatic large colon lipomas has not been well studied. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of asymptomatic colon lipoma that wa...

Introduction: Fibroepithelial polyp (FEP) is a benign tumor that presented frequently in some of the organs like oral cavity, skin, colon and genitourinary tract, but airway rare. Case Presentation: We present rare case this paper, with recurrent bronchial FEP was near completely obstructed right main bronchus we managed her successfully interventional bronchoscopy. In report describe condition...

INTRODUCTION Ganglioneuromas are rare benign peripheral neuroblastic tumors characterized by hyperplasia of ganglion cells, nerve fibers, and supporting cells. They are not usually localized in the colon. CASE PRESENTATION A 61-year-old Caucasian man was admitted to our department for colon cancer screening. A colonoscopy revealed a lipoma of 5cm in diameter, two micropolyps of less than 1cm,...

Snare polypectomy by sigmoid-rectal intussusception Appreciable bleeding or perforation after colonoscopic polypectomy is relatively unusual. Nevertheless, either may occur with broad-based sessile polyps owing to insufficient electrocoagulation of the base resulting from excessive current application, excessive snare-wire tightening, or a combination of both. If a polyp base is over about 2 cm...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate gene expression profiles in unaffected colon mucosa and polyp tissue from patients with unifocal colon polyp to investigate the potential mucosa impairment in normal-appearing colon mucosa from these patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Colon polyp patients were prospectively recruited. We obtained colon biopsies from the normal-appearing sites and pol...
