Small Cell Carcinoma of Rectum - An Infrequent Aggressive Tumor

We report the case of a 63 year old man with small cell carcinoma of rectum. He presented with occasional rectal bleed, anal verge pain and generalized weakness. Colonoscopy revealed an ulcerated growth in proximal rectum. Endoscopic biopsy revealed poorly differentiated carcinoma. Laparoscopic anterior resection was done and histopathogical examination along with IHC confirmed small cell carcinoma(SCC). Colorectal SCC is a rare and aggressive tumor.

Small cell carcinoma of rectum: A case report

We present a case of a 40-year-old woman with small-cell carcinoma (SCC) of the rectum. She had profuse bleeding in rectum for 5 d. By colonoscopy, polyps were determined in the rectum and biopsies were carried out. Histopathologically, the polyps were adenomatous. Because of the profuse bleeding in rectum, she underwent low anterior resection. After the diagnosis of SCC, she received intravenous chemotherapy with standard doses of siklofosfamid, adriamycin, and vepesid. Nevertheless, intracranial metastases were revealed and she died 6 mo after the operation.
