Abstract

The patient was 70-years-old women, 27 years ago, she was diagnosed with total colitis-type ulcerative colitis. Eighteen years after the diagnosis, she self-suspended his hospital visit because her condition was stable. After 4 years, ulcerative colitis rekindled, she resumed taking a 5-ASA. And 2 years later, colonoscopy revealed type 3 tumor in the descending colon. Tumor biopsy indicated an adenocarcinoma(tub1, tub2)derived from ulcerative colitis. Originally total proctocolectomy is necessary, but patient strongly hoped to leave the colon. We performed laparoscopic left hemicolonectomy(D2, SST). The pathological diagnosis was pT3, pN2, pM0, pStage Ⅲc. After the operation, chemotherapy(mFOLFOX6)was carried out for 6 months. We regularly checked tumor markers and followed up with a colonoscopy once every 6 months. But 3 years and 9 months after surgery, ulcerative colitis rekindled and adenocarcinoma in the transverse colon found by colonoscopy. We performed total proctocolectomy with ileal J-pouch anal-canal anastomosis. Four months after the second operation, advanced defecation disorder has not been observed.
