RESUMEN
Resumen Los pacientes con colitis ulcerosa (CU) y enfermedad de Crohn (EC) presentan un mayor riesgo de cáncer colorrectal (CCR), debido a la inflamación crónica, la susceptibilidad genética y los factores de riesgo ambientales. Sin embargo, las neoplasias no epiteliales son infrecuentes. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 83 años con una CU de larga evolución, que presenta una lesión polipoide. Una vez resecada, se diagnosticó de un leiomiosarcoma de alto grado. En la literatura, únicamente se han publicado tres casos previos de leiomiosarcoma en pacientes con CU, por lo que este reporte representaría el cuarto caso. La asociación directa de la CU y el leiomiosarcoma no ha sido bien establecida. No obstante, se sugiere que la inmunosupresión y la inflamación crónica son factores de riesgo.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) patients present an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) due to chronic inflammation, genetic susceptibility and environmental risk factors. In contrast, non-epithelial neoplasms are uncommon. We discuss the case of an 83-year-old male with a long-standing UC, presenting with a polypoid lesion. Once resected, the lesion was identified as a high-grade leiomyosarcoma. A review of the literature revealed that only three previous cases of leiomyosarcoma among patients with UC have been published. Thus, this one would represent the fourth case where this rare non-epithelial neoplasm was detected in a patient with UC. The direct association of UC and leiomyosarcoma has not been well established; however, immunosuppression is suggested to be a risk factor for leiomyosarcoma in the literature.
