Abstract

Primary carcinoma of the ileal mucosa in patients who have had an ileostomy has been documented rarely. This report describes 4 patients seen within the last 4 yr with ileal carcinoma adjacent to the mucocutaneous junction of an ileostomy 25, 29, 30, and 34 yr after the stoma was formed. The incidence of this serious complication may be increasing.

    Rarely, resiting is requested.25 Malignant gland degeneration can occur at the site of ileostomy with an incidence of two to four cases per 1000 ileostomies, usually in ulcerative colitis,56 a higher incidence compared with small intestine carcinomas.

    Citation Excerpt :

    In reviewing the reported cases, the following unifying features were identified: (1) patients were, on average, in their eighth decade; (2) male patients were affected more than female patients; (3) all cases involved the extremities; and (4) all cases showed worrisome features including inflammation, new growth, ulceration and crusting, and persistent disease despite extensive treatment. Notably, reported cases of peristomal carcinoma presented with similar symptoms.46-49 Given the clinical overlap between malignant ESFA and peristomal carcinoma, and the well-known association of malignancy in other long-standing reactive processes, such as burn scars, chronic (Marjolin's) ulcers, and lichen sclerosis,50-53 malignant change in reactive peristomal ESFA is plausible and should be considered both clinically and histologically.
