Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer can invade adjacent organs, but rarely metastasizes to the regional lymph nodes (LNs) of the invaded organ. Herein, we report a case of rectal cancer invading the ileum and metastasized to the regional ileal LNs. CASE PRESENTATION A 77-year-old male presented abdominal pain and anorexia, diagnosed with rectal cancer invading the small intestine and concurrently metastasized to the regional LN of the intestine and liver. High anterior resection and partial resection of the small intestine was performed, then, the patient was referred to our hospital for chemotherapy. We performed 17 cycles of systemic chemotherapy that achieved a partial reduction in size of the LN, followed by an ileocecal resection with ileal mesentery resection for regional LNs removal. Histopathological analysis of the resected ileal LNs and six liver lesions revealed a moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 18. Cancer recurrences developed in the lungs 5 months after the surgery, then to the liver and peritoneum, and further surgery and chemotherapy were performed. Despite the challenging presentation, the patient survived for 40 months after the first surgery. CONCLUSIONS We report a rare case of a surgical resection of a secondary ileal LN metastasis from rectal cancer. The patient survives for a relatively long time after surgical resection. When colorectal cancer invades the small intestine, clinicians should consider the possibility of secondary LN metastasis in the invaded site.

Small bowel fistula with colorectal cancer and mesenteric lymph node metastasis: a report of two cases. J Surg Case Rep 2023; 2023:rjad675. [PMID: 38164216 PMCID: PMC10758223 DOI: 10.1093/jscr/rjad675] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024] Open
Abstract
A 65-year-old man presented to our hospital with complaints of diarrhea. Computed tomography showed a fistula with the small intestine, and a single incision laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectum with D3 dissection and partial resection of the small intestine were performed. Lymph node dissection, including a part of the inflow vessel area, was also performed because lymph node swelling was observed in the mesentery of the small intestine around the fistula. Histopathological analysis revealed that the lymph nodes in the small intestine were positive for metastasis. The patient was a 61-year-old woman who presented to our hospital with a chief complaint of diarrhea. A partial resection of the small intestine, including resection of the left hemicolectomy and lymph node dissection around the fistula, was performed at laparotomy. Histopathological examination revealed numerous lymph node metastases in the small intestinal mesentery.
