Successful management of lower rectal carcinoma recurrence on perineal pseudo-continent colostomy: a case report and review of literature
Abstract
Recurrence of lower rectal carcinoma on perineal pseudo-continent colostomy is rarely reported in the literature. It presents a real challenge for the physician. The aim of this case report was to document an exceptional recurrence and how to manage it.
A 56-year-old man presented with stage II adenocarcinoma of the lower rectum. He received concomitant chemoradiation followed by abdominoperineal resection with perineal pseudo-continent colostomy. Three years later, he developed a local recurrence of his prior adenocarcinoma, on the perineal pseudo-continent colostomy. He underwent wide excision, followed by reconstruction with a rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap with an inferior pedicle and an oblique skin paddle. He underwent adjuvant chemotherapy. The patient is free of disease with three years follow up.
Extended resection should be considered as an initial treatment for locally recurrent rectal cancer.
