Sigmoid colon carcinoma with focal neuroendocrine differentiation associated with ulcerative colitis: A case report

Abstract: HighlightsColorectal carcinomas with neuroendocrine differentiation in UC are rare entity.Most of clinical presentations are shared with adenocarcinomas associated with UC. However, malignant potential may be higher.Surgical treatment should be recommended, if tumors are resectable.Best chemotherapy for this tumor is unknown, and further studies are required.

“…Histologically, the cells of these tumors are small (100-250nm), polymorphic presenting multiform neurosecretory granules in their cytoplasm 8,11 . Immunohistochemistry is usually positive for neuron specific enolase, keratin and chromogranin A [10,[17][18][19]. The histopathology and immunohistochemistry in the present case was typical of small cell undifferentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma.…”

“…Various chemotherapy regimens have been proposed, but without unanimous acceptance 16 . The prevalent pattern is considered to be the one that is used in small-cell lung carcinoma 11 , which combines cisplatin, etoposide and accordingly 5-FU and irinotecan 3,5,16,18,19 . Many authors, based on the affinity of these tumors with carcinoids, propose the use of interferon-a, which stimulates the activity of Natural Killer cells, and reduces the possible hormonal secretion of these tumors 16,18 .…”

“…1 Colorectal malignancy associated with UC is typically adenocarcinoma, but a small number of cases have reported an association between UC and NEC in the English literature, and their clinicopathological features are summarized in Table 1. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Unlike NEC, the incidence of neuroendocrine tumor (carcinoid) arising in UC patients is not uncommon (about 10% 13 ).…”

“…The colorectal neuro-endocrine tumour (NET) including GCCC does not present with any specific symptoms, however maypresent with abdominal pain, large mass, constipation, intestinal obstruction, tenesmus, haematochezia or anal pain, however as other goblet cell carcinomas, GCCCs tumour does not illicit carcinoid syndrome. These tumours can be detected incidentally during routine investigations such as colonoscopy (17,30,31,32).…”
