“…The mitotic index is considered to be useful in distinguishing SCUC from carcinoid. SCUC produces peptide hormones such as adrenocorticotropic hormone, anti-diuretic hormone, gastrin releasing peptide and biologically active amines such as serotonin (Barnard 1926). The ultra-fine morphology of the tumor cell indicates the presence of neuroendocrine granules in the cell.…”

Although adenocarcinoma represents the vast majority of neoplasms of the large intestine, small cell undifferentiated carcinoma (SCUC) also arises from the colorectum. SCUC of the colorectum is highly malignant and shares the similarities in histologic characteristics, behavior, and histochemistry with SCUC of the lung. We report herein a case of SCUC in the ascending colon with rapid enlargement after resection. A 70-year-old male, who presented to a nearby physician with chief complaints of pain in the right lower quadrant, was referred to our hospital. We found a tumor mass that was approximately 15 cm in size in the right lower quadrant. Computed tomography (CT) images showed an irregularly shaped tumor, located inferior to the lower border of the right kidney and in the area of the ascending colon. By colonoscopy, we found a circumferential tumor of the ascending colon. A biopsy indicated it to be SCUC. The patient underwent right hemicolectomy. Two weeks after the resection, we palpated a tumor mass in the same area. The abdominal CT images showed a tumor mass that was approximately 10 cm in size. The tumor rapidly enlarged, and the patient died of multiple organ failure. SCUC is a tumor with a high malignant potential. Radical treatment cannot be achieved by surgical therapy alone and hence further studies of effective adjuvant therapy would be required.small cell undifferentiated carcinoma; SCUC; colon; chemotherapy

“…Since Barnard (1926) reported on small cell undifferentiated carcinoma (SCUC) of the lungs, this disease has been known to have high malignancy and poor prognosis. The lung has been reported to be the primary origin in most cases of SCUC.…”

“…Lung cancer can be divided according to histological subtype into non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), with the latter accounting for about 14% of new lung cancer cases in the USA and Europe in 2004 (Jemal et al, 2004). The clinical and histological features of SCLC were first recognized by Barnard in 1926 as being distinct from those of other types of lung cancer (Barnard, 1926). SCLC cells develop from lung Kulchitsky cells, and SCLC can be further subdivided into three different types: oat-cell type, intermediate-cell type and mixed-cell type (Travis, 1999).…”
