Gastrocolic fistula secondary to colon cáncer
Fístula gastrocólica secundaria a cáncer de colon
Fístula gastrocólica secundária a câncer de cólon
Resumen:
The gastrocolic fistula described in 1755 by Albrecht von Haller, is defined as the abnormal communication between the generally transverse colon and the stomach in its greater curvature.Different etiologies are known, being a rare finding with few reports in the literature.We present the case of an 85-year-old patient with a history of anemia and weight loss who consulted due to fecal-like vomiting, without lower digestive transit disorders, without pain or abdominal distension with normal air-fluid noises and a nasogastric tube with fecal-like content.Tomography (fig. 1) confirmed a lesion of probable malignant aetiology of the splenic flexure of the colon fistulized to the stomach, so it was decided to perform a sectoral colectomy with primary anastomosis and subtotal gastrectomy, progressing favorably with discharge after 6 days. Pathological anatomy reports moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the colon with gastric involvement.
La fístula gastrocólica descrita en 1755 por Albrecht von Haller, se define como la comunicación anormal entre el colon generalmente transverso y estómago en su curvatura mayor. Se conocen distintas etiologías, siendo un hallazgo poco frecuente con escasos reportes en la literatura. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 85 años con historia de anemia y adelgazamiento que consulta por cuadro de vómitos fecaloideos, sin alteraciones de tránsito digestivo bajo, sin dolor ni distensión abdominal con ruidos hidroaéreos normales y sonda nasogástrica con contenido fecaloideo. La Tomografía (fig. 1) confirma una lesión de probable etiología maligna del ángulo esplénico del colon fistulizado a estómago por lo que se decide la realización de una colectomía sectorial con anastomosis primaria y gastrectomía subtotal, evolucionando favorablemente con un alta a los 6 días. La anatomía patológica informa adenocarcinoma de colon moderadamente diferenciado con compromiso gástrico.
