Abstract
Primary appendiceal cancer is rare, and difficult to diagnose pre-operatively because lack of specific symptoms. This report presents a rare case of synchronous colon and appendiceal cancer. A 50-year-old man was referred to our hospital due to endoscopic submucosal resection (ESD) for early cecal cancer. ESD was performed, and the pathological examination revealed tubular adenocarcinoma with deep submucosal invasion. Laparoscopic ileocecal resection was performed as additional resection after ESD of cecal cancer. There were no obvious abnormalities around the ileocecal region in the preoperative examination. Postoperative pathological examination incidentally revealed a mucosal papillary adenocarcinoma of the appendix, with no residual lesion in the ESD scar. The patient was discharged on the seventh postoperative day. Synchronous appendiceal and colon cancer is extremely rare in past reports. Here, we report the case details and review previous case reports.
