Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Pathology and Microbiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
The Large Intestine neoplasms are one of the most common neoplasms encountered now a days. It consists of both colon and rectum malignancies. At present it ranks second to bronchogenic carcinoma in most prevalent cancers. Globally 8,00,000Colo-Rectal Cancer cases are believed to occur and mortality of this is expected to be near 4,50,000. Overall incidence is 10% of all cancers. The present study was undertaken to study neoplastic lesions in the large intestine for the period of twenty-two months. The study consisted of total 65 cases out of which, 46 were surgically resected specimen and 19 were biopsies. Majority of the cases were Adenocarcinomas (61.5%), followed by Mucinous adenocarcinoma (24.6%). Most common location of Colo-Rectal Cancer was rectum (47.7%) followed by sigmoid colon (15.4%). Rare cases like Signet ring cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, Gastrointestinal stromal tumor and lymphoma were also found in the study. Histopathological evaluation is the only confirmatory investigation for diagnosis of such tumors. Present study emphasizes the need for early histopathological diagnosis for appropriate treatment.
