Synchronous association of ileal carcinoid and recto-colonic carcinoma. a case report

ABSTRACT

Multiple primary malignant neoplasm in a single patient have been well documented in the literature. The lesions can be limited to a single organ or involve multiple organ systems and can be synchronous or metachronous. Report of a new case. We report the case of a 63 year old women with a rectocolonic carcinoma; during surgery an ileal nodule was discovered also as liver metastasis. The final pathologic report on the specimen revealed an adenocarcinoma of the colon and a carcinoid tumor of the small bowel with liver metastasis. Tumoral association is relatively common for patients with small intetinal carcinoids. The association carcinoide of hail with primitive tumour not carcinoide is reported primarily with carcinomes of the digestive tract in particulary recto colics carcinoma
