Simultaneous resection of an adenocarcinoma of the cardia and a synchronous adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid: Report of a case.
Annals of Medicine and Surgery 2018 October
INTRODUCTION: Adenocarcinoma of the cardia synchronous with other intraabdominal neoplasms is very rare. We report the case of a Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the cardia synchronous with an adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid both treated simultaneously by transjatal oesophago-gastrectomy and anterior resection of the sigmoid.
CASE REPORT: A 62 year-old male was admitted for a progressing dysphagia and weight loss. Oesophago-gastric fibroscopy detected an adenocarcinoma of the cardia extending to the distal 2 cm of the esophagus (Siewert typeII). A CT-scan of the chest and abdomen confirmed the cancer of the cardia and also decealed a synchronous tumor of the sigmoid. Both neoplasms were resected through a xipho-pubic laparotomy, with an ileostomy completing the procedure. Postoperative course was uneventful and ileostomy was closed four weeks later. The patient was subsequently addressed to oncological for adjuvant treatment.
DISCUSSION: This report supports the indication of aggressive, simultaneous treatment of an adenocarcinoma of the cardia associated with a synchronous abdominal neoplasm, provided that both are resectable through the same surgical access, as anticipated at a preoperative, through diagnostic work-up.
CONCLUSION: Simultaneous resection of synchronous adenocarcinoma of the cardia and the sigmoid is feasible and avoids possible progression of the untreated neoplasm during the interval between two separate resections, provided that a curative resection can be obtained for both diseases.
