| 4 | Serous cystadenocarcinoma of the mesentery in a man:case report and review of literature显示文摘In February 2007,a 41-year-old Japanese male was admitted to our hospital with increasing upper abdominal pain.A contrast-enhanced computed tomography(CT)scan of the abdomen demonstrated a well-demarcated,hypodense cystic mass with a thickened wall in the mesocolon.The laboratory results were within normal limits,except for increased carcinoembryonic antigen,carbohydrate antigen 19-9,DUPAN-2 and SPAN-1.The patient was diagnosed as having a mesenteric malignant cyst,and during a laparotomy,a right hemicolectomy with mesenteric cystectomy was performed without rupture in March 2007.In the microscopic findings,there was a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma in the inner surface of the cyst and in the fibrous connective tissue of the hypertrophic cystic wall.The tumor cells were immunohistochemically reactive to cytokeratin(CK)7,CK18 and CK20.No remnant of the malignancy was detected in the resected margin of the colon,cyst,liver or peritoneum nor was an uptake detected in an 18[F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT examination of other organs.Finally,the malignancy was concluded to be a serous cystadenocarcinoma of the mesentery.Nineteen months after the operation,the patient died from peritonitis carcinomatosa due to a small intestine rupture.This report suggests mesenteric cystadenocarcinomas originating in the ovary,oviduct and intestinal mucosa,but these were ruled out in our patient.In this report,we discuss a case of the malignant transformation of a cyst into adenocarcinoma,which to our knowledge has never been previously reported in a male patient. | Toru Obuchi Osamu Shimooki Akira Sasaki Tadashi Abe Go Wakabayashi | 2014 | Gastroenterology Report2014，2，4： | 0 |
