Abstract Most cases of peritoneal dissemination of colorectal cancers are from T3 or T4 tumors. A 61-year-old woman was admitted for examination of a positive fecal occult blood test. Colonoscopy showed an ascending colon tumor that was diagnosed as an adenocarcinoma with massive submucosal invasion. Imaging modality revealed numerous nodules throughout the abdominal cavity. Peritoneal dissemination of the ascending colon or ovarian cancer and pseudomyxoma peritonei were considered in the preoperative differential diagnoses, and laparoscopic ileocecal resection was performed. Intraperitoneal observation revealed numerous white nodules in the peritoneum, omentum and Douglas fossa. Both the nodules and tumor were diagnosed as mucinous carcinoma based on a pathology report. The tumor invasion depth was limited to muscularis propria, and no regional lymph node metastasis was detected. Peritoneal dissemination of the ascending colon cancer was considered. We report a rare case of multiple peritoneal dissemination of T2 colorectal cancer without lymph node metastases.

Abstract Background This study aimed to compare fecal calprotectin (FC) levels with other commonly used parameters as part of patient care during evaluation for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods We recruited adult IBD patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) and compared the results of the patient’s biopsy results (i.e., inflamed versus noninflamed) for six sites (i.e., ileum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum) with concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), total leucocytes and fecal calprotectin (FC). Results We found that FC was significantly elevated in a concentration-dependent manner that correlated with the number of active inflammation sites reported in biopsy. Although CRP and leucocyte measurements trended upwards in line with inflammation reported from biopsy, the results were highly variable and highlighted poor reliability of these biomarkers for indicating IBD inflammation. Conclusions These results strongly suggest that FC correlates best with biopsy reports and is a superior marker than CRP and leucocytes.

Abstract Isolated colonic schwannomas are rare gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors. Only a small number of cases have been reported. Occurrence of these tumors is more common in the stomach than in the large intestine. These spindle cell lesions are distinct from leiomyoma, leiomyosarcoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors because the tumor cells have a distinct immunophenotype, with strong diffuse positivity for S-100 and vimentin, as well as corroborative negative staining of CD117 and smooth muscle markers. We present a case of colonic schwannoma in a 70-year-old woman who had no specific symptoms. The patient was diagnosed with a submucosal tumor in the ascending colon on colonoscopy and abdominal computed tomography. Laparoscopic-assisted wedge resection of colon was performed. The very rare pathologic diagnosis of ascending schwannoma was made postoperatively. This case is interesting because schwannomas of the colon and rectum are extremely rare and are treated by laparoscopic-assisted wedge resection.
