  • Published:
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum

Summary

A case is presented of a 31-year-old woman with chronic ulcerative colitis in whom two adenocarcinomas of the colon occurring six years apart were resected. The patient died of abdominal carcinomatosis seven years after removal of a malignant lesion of the cecum and one year after removal of another malignant lesion of the sigmoid. A review of medical literature since 1950 reveals reports of 12 patients who lived five years or longer following removal of carcinoma of the colon associated with chronic ulcerative colitis.
