Abstract
BACKGROUND This paper aimed to elucidate the etiologies of all primary ileostomy site malignancies published in the literature. METHODS A review of the literature was conducted following PRISMA guidelines by querying PubMed, Global Health, and Web of Science for articles published before November 2020. Search criteria contained broad terminology for ileostomy site neoplasms without language, date, or publication limitations. A full-text review of the abstracts confirmed primary malignant pathologies and was evaluated for study inclusion. RESULTS Literature search discovered 858 publications, with 76 meeting eligibility criteria. The final sample contained 91 patients, with equal males and females. The mean age of patients with ileostomy site malignancy was 62.0 ± 12.2, with an average ileostomy age of 29.4 ± 12.4. The most common indications for ileostomy creation were inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (73.6%) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) (20.9%). There was a total of eight ileostomy malignant pathologies reported, with adenocarcinoma being the most common (76.9%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (11.0%). Adenocarcinoma was diagnosed at a younger age than SCC (59.7 vs. 72.3) and developed over a shorter time (28.8 vs. 37.0). Patients with FAP almost exclusively developed adenocarcinoma (94.4%) at a younger stoma age (25.8 vs. 31.4) than those with IBD who developed seven diverse pathologies. With a median follow-up of 0.75 years, four patients developed disease recurrence and received oncologic resection of their cancer less often than the 55 negative patients (p = 0.04). CONCLUSION Ileostomy site malignancies are late-appearing complications that require curative surgery. Their presentation is associated with ileostomy duration and creation indication, such as FAP or IBD. We recommend screening at a stoma age ≥ 20 or patient age ≥ 50 for patients with FAP, while stoma age ≥ 25 or patient age ≥ 60 for IBD patients.

Abstract
Primary adenocarcinoma is a rare and late complication following proctocolectomy and ileostomy for ulcerative colitis, familial adenomatous polyposis, Crohn's disease and multifocal colorectal cancer. We report a case of adenocarcinoma of the ileostomy occurring 48 years after proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis. A review of the literature suggests that there are 39 cases reported in literature and this case reports the longest interval between formation of ileostomy and diagnosis of ileostomy adenocarcinoma. This case also reports lymph node metastasis to the adjacent mesenteric lymph node. The incidence of lymphnode metastasis is 15 percent as per literature. Onces diagnosis is confirmed by biopsy enblock excision with or without stomal relocation is the main stay of treatment. Patient education and regular surveillance of patients with long-standing ileostomy is recommended for early detection of this unusual cancer.

Abstract
Primary adenocarcinoma of a permanent ileostomy is a rare and unusual complication. We report a case of primary adenocarcinoma arising at an ileostomy site 46 years after total proctocolectomy for Crohn's colitis. In addition, we performed a literature search and found 36 such cases reported. Based on the results of this case and literature review, we concur with the previously reported theory that the etiology of this phenomenon is likely the result of colonic metaplasia in the ileal mucosa, which eventually progresses to carcinoma. Common presenting symptoms include a bleeding, friable mass, difficulty fitting the stomal appliance, and bowel obstruction. Once confirmed by biopsy, appropriate surgical en bloc excision and stomal relocation is the mainstay of therapy. Lymph node metastasis occurs in 19 percent of patients and survival is at least 85 percent. Adjuvant therapy may be of additional benefit. Patient education is important for early detection as the lesion typically appears an average of 27 years after the original operation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Inflammation, villous atrophy, colonic metaplasia, and dysplasia have been observed within the mucosa of ileal pelvic pouches after restorative proctocolectomy. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of mucosal dysplasia in ileal pouch and any associated risk factors. METHODS Prospectively registered patients having restorative proctocolectomy were recruited. A cross-sectional study was performed using a questionnaire focusing on disease history, functional results, and pouchitis after surgery. Participants underwent screening endoscopic pouch examination using sigmoidoscopy. Mucosal biopsies were taken from six specific locations in the pouch from proximal ileal-pouch (inflow) to ileoanal anastomosis. All biopsies were performed under strict surveillance protocol regardless of patients' symptoms. Biopsies were interpreted by two pathologists unaware of each other's report. RESULTS A total of 138 patients completed the protocol. Colectomy specimens from restorative proctocolectomy showed chronic ulcerative colitis in 118 (85.6 percent), familial adenomatous polyposis in 10 (7.2 percent), Crohn's colitis in 2 (1.4 percent), and indeterminate colitis in 8 (5.8 percent) patients. Twenty-two patients (18.3 percent) had dysplasia and eight (6.7 percent) had invasive cancer found in colectomy specimens after restorative proctocolectomy. Median interval between proctocolectomy and pouch biopsy was 5.4 years. Inflammatory changes were present in a majority of specimens, but these did not correlate with clinical history of pouchitis. No villous atrophy was identified. Pouch biopsies from only one patient were indefinite for dysplasia. Subsequent biopsies were negative. CONCLUSIONS Clinical and microscopic evidence of ileal-pouch inflammation is common. Ileal-pouch mucosal dysplasia is uncommon, occurring in only 1 of 138 patients. Villous atrophy and colonic metaplasia were not observed in this series. Routine pouch surveillance with biopsies may not be warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ileostomy carcinoma after colectomy for ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis is rare. METHODS Forty-three case reports from the literature and a case of ours are reviewed. RESULTS The risk of malignancy following ileostomy formation appears to be increased compared to the very low incidence of primary small bowel carcinoma. Chronic physical or chemical irritation of the stoma may predispose the ileal mucosa to colonic metaplasia with subsequent adenoma formation, dysplasia and invasive malignant change. This is particularly so where ileostomies are fashioned for familial adenomatous polyposis and ulcerative colitis. CONCLUSION Routine surveillance of patients who have had an ileostomy for 15 years or longer may lead to earlier detection of this complication.

Abstract
Adenocarcinomas arising at ileostomy sites in patients after colon resection for various diseases, such as ulcerative colitis (UC), familial adenomatous polyposis coli, and Crohn's disease, are rare occurrences but have been reported increasingly in the last 20 years. We report a case of adenocarcinoma arising in an ileostomy site in an 85-year-old woman with longstanding UC. She had pancolitis and underwent total proctocolectomy. Thirty-nine years later, her ileostomy site developed a granulation tissue-type lesion, which on initial biopsy revealed cytologic atypia in the presence of marked inflammation. A subsequent biopsy revealed adenocarcinoma with signet-ring cells and abundant extracellular mucin. Resection of the ileostomy was undertaken and a new ileostomy was performed. The literature on adenocarcinoma arising in the 23 patients with ulcerative colitis who received a Brooke or Kock ileostomy and had no prior history of neoplasm is reviewed.

Abstract
The small intestine is an uncommon location for neoplasms in either clinical or radiological practice. Because of its anatomic location and morphology, diagnosis of the diseases that affect small intestine pose difficulties. Symptoms are nonspecific and endoscopy is commonly unsatisfactory. Since early and definite diagnosis is crucial for prompt therapy, radiological imaging plays an essential role. Enteroclysis is the primary and effective radiologic modality in the evaluation of small bowel neoplasms. On the other hand, computed tomography should be the complementary radiologic method as well as for staging. In this review, the most common neoplasms of the small intestine and their common radiologic findings have been discussed.

Abstract
Adenocarcinoma arising at an ileostomy is uncommon, and only 29 cases have been reported in the literature. The case of a 54-year-old man who developed an adenocarcinoma at a Brooke ileostomy is reported. The ileostomy had been fashioned 21 years earlier after proctocolectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). A wide local excision of the stoma was performed, and a new Brooke ileostomy was fashioned on the opposite side of the abdomen. Histopathologic examination revealed a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma with early invasion of the submucosa. On hematoxylin and eosin staining, the ileal mucosa adjacent to the tumor showed signs of colonic metaplasia, including loss of villous architecture and a reduced number of Paneth cells. Mucin staining using the high iron diamine-alcian blue stain demonstrated a mixture of sulfomucin and sialomucin in the ileal mucosa near the tumor, confirming colonic metaplasia. Ileostomy site carcinogenesis can be attributed to both the colonic metaplasia and the inherent nature of FAP or ulcerative colitis (UC), where colonic mucosa is susceptible to adenoma formation or dysplasia. Longstanding ileostomies in patients with FAP or UC should be followed to exclude the development of adenoma, dysplasia, or cancer.

Abstract
A patient who developed a mixed neuroendocrine carcinoma and adenocarcinoma at the site of a previous long-standing ileostomy is reported. The neuroendocrine features are documented by both ultrastructural and immunocytochemical findings. Carcinoma arising in an ileostomy site is rare but has been recorded in patients with long-standing ileostomies after colectomy for chronic inflammatory bowel disease, as in this patient. Neuroendocrine carcinoma developing in this setting apparently has not been described before, however.

Abstract
A case of adenocarcinoma arising in an ileostomy of 39 years' duration is presented. The patient had undergone proctocolectomy in 1949 for familial adenomatous polyposis, with subsequent ileostomy in 1950, and presented in April 1989 with bleeding and a mass at the stoma site. Biopsy of the mass revealed adenocarcinoma. Adenocarcinoma of an ileostomy is a rare but well-documented complication, with the present patient bringing the total number of reported cases to 18. The literature is reviewed, and surveillance measures are suggested.

Abstract
Once regarded as medical curiosities, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease have achieved a remarkable change in status recently and today are among the more compelling of all human illnesses. The cause(s) of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are not known. Genetic, environmental, microbial, and immunologic factors are involved, but the precise mechanisms are obscure. The incidence of ulcerative colitis is relatively stable, while Crohn's disease continues to increase in frequency. In 10% to 15% of patients, it is hard to differentiate between ulcerative colitis and Crohn's colitis, however, problems with diagnosis usually resolve with time and repeated examinations. In part I of his two-part monograph on IBD, Dr. Kirsner addressed the nature and pathogenesis of the disease. Increased study of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease in recent years has generated new knowledge regarding their etiology. Part I focused on microbial, immunologic, and genetic mechanisms of, and the inflammatory process involved in the disease. In this part, Dr. Kirsner deals with the clinical features, course, and management of IBD, based on the author's 55 years of experience with these problems and supplemented by critical examination of the recent (1988-1990) literature. Particular attention is directed to the symptoms and physical findings of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. The laboratory, radiologic, endoscopic, and pathologic features, and the many systemic complications. IBDs are mimicked by several enterocolonic infections and other conditions making differential diagnosis necessary. Inflammatory bowel disease in children and the elderly conforms to conventional clinical patterns modified by the health circumstances of the respective age groups. Because the cause of IBD has not been established, current medical therapy is facilitative and supportive rather than curative. The principles of medical treatment are approximately the same for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Treatment emphasizes a program rather than a drug and also considers the individuality of the therapeutic response. A clearer understanding of dietary and nutritional needs, including hyperalimentation and electrolyte and fluid balance, aids treatment. Antidiarrheal and antispasmodal preparation and sedatives are prescribed for symptom relief. The bowel inflammation is controlled with sulfasalazine or the newer 5-amino-salicylic acid (5-ASA) compounds, antibacterial drugs for complications of Crohn's disease and IBD, adrenocortical steroids, and the immunosuppressive compounds 6-mercaptopurine (6MP), azathioprine, and cyclosporine, as determined in each patient. The surgical procedures available for treatment of ulcerative colitis include total proctocolectomy and ileostomy or ileoanal anastomosis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
A 73-year-old heterosexual man developed a high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at the site of an ileostomy only 2 years after proctectomy for undetermined colitis not cured by previous colectomy. In fact, the early occurrence of this usually very late and rare complication of ileostomy was probably favored by the simultaneous presence of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) due to repeated blood transfusions for refractory anemia with excess blasts. The intestinal location of the tumor, its high-grade malignancy and B-cell origin are all features of AIDS-related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This case report seems to be one of the rarely identified examples of the cooperation between general predisposing factors and local irritating agents at the origin of a malignant tumor.
