BACKGROUND: Many studies in the literature have warned of the need for investigation of colonic lesions among patients, especially elderly ones, who have bacteremia and/or endocarditis from Streptococcus bovis. Bacteremia and infectious endocarditis from Streptococcus bovis may be related to the presence of neoplastic lesions in the large intestine and hepatic disease. AIM: This report describes a patient who presented infectious endocarditis from Streptococcus bovis associated with colonic carcinoma and tubular-villous adenomas. CONCLUSIONS: The finding of this bacterium among patients with septicemia and/or endocarditis is also related to the presence of villous or tubular-villous adenomas in the large intestine. For this reason, complete and detailed investigation of the large intestine must be performed in patients with infectious endocarditis, even in the absence of intestinal symptoms. An increased incidence of this condition or hepatic dysfunction has been reported among patients with infectious endocarditis from Streptococcus bovis. Patients with infectious endocarditis from Streptococcus bovis and normal colonoscopy may be included in the group at risk for developing colonic cancer. The knowledge that there is an association between endocarditis from Streptococcus bovis and carcinoma of the colon has important clinical implications. If the lesion can be discovered at an early stage, curative resection may become possible.

Background: With increasing usage of endoscopic procedures, gastrointestinal polypoidal lesions are commonly encountered specimens. Histopathological examination is crucial as biological behavior is dependent on its pathological nature. Materials and Methods: A retrospective descriptive study performed in Pathology department, Om Hospital and Research Centre from January 2017 to June 2019. The study included lesions received as polyp or polypoidal lesions of gastrointestinal tract for histopathological examination. Data was analysed using SPSS version 17.0. Gender, number and site were analysed using Chi square test to evaluate its association with neoplastic nature. Correlation with age and size was tested with Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Results: Among 150 cases of gastrointestinal tract polypoidal lesions, 58% were seen in male and 42% in female. Hyperplastic polyp and conventional adenoma were the commonest non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions respectively. The age of patients ranged from 7 to 84 years with a mean age of 50 years. Rectosigmoid region was the commonest site. 134 patients had single and 16 had multiple polypoidal lesions. Most polypoidal lesion had size <1 cm. Gender, age, number and size showed no correlation with neoplastic nature. A significant association was found with site with notably higher number of neoplastic lesions in large intestine. Conclusion: A spectrum of histological types of polypoidal lesions were found in Gastrointestinal tract, most frequently in colorectal region. Hyperplastic polyp and adenomatous polyp were the commonest non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions respectively. A notably higher number of polypoidal lesions in the large intestine were found to be neoplastic in nature.

Background: The various presentations of carcinoma of the colon are well known. Abscess formation occurs in 0.3 to 0.4% and is the second most common complication of perforated lesions. Perforation and penetration of adjacent organs with intra-abdominal abscess formation as the initial presentation is uncommon. It is difcult to make an accurate diagnosis of abscess formation as the rst evidence of colonic carcinoma preoperatively. A 68 yrs old female who presented to the ED with acute onset of left lower abdominal f Case presentation: ullness, pain and local redness for 15 days. She denied any history of vomiting, fever, anorexia but history of altered bowel habit. Clinically she had a palpable lump (20 x15) cm in left lumber region .The lump was parietal with local raise of temperature , redness and tenderness can be elicited . So our initial impression was parietal wall abscess and we underwent emergency drainage of abscess. She had uneventful recovery and discharged after 2 weeks. She was admitted with similar presentation in previous location 30 days after discharge. Now we investigate thoroughly, a CECT scan of whole abdomen which conrms radio-logically as carcinoma of descending colon with abscess extending into the parietal wall .We underwent an exploratory laparotomy and HPE proven as adenocarcinoma of the colon. Post op she developed SSI which was managed with regular dressing and she was discharged in post-op day 20. We report this case because of an unusual Conclusion: presentation of left sided colonic Ca. The accurate preoperative diagnosis of these conditions extremely complicated because of the fuzzy clinical presentation. The CT scan can diagnose malignancy pre-operatively, even if the denitive diagnosis of colonic perforated neoplasia may be evident only during surgery. So early diagnosis and prompted intervention can save the patient to developed sepsis and to reduce signicantly the morbidity and mortality. The importance is to focus on the differential diagnosis and keep in mind that a colon carcinoma can present with abdominal abscess. Surgeons should be aware of this differential because it is easily ignored pre-operatively.

Background Following endoscopic resection of early-stage Barrett’s esophageal adenocarcinoma (BEA), further oncologic management then fundamentally relies upon the accurate assessment of histopathologic risk criteria, which requires there to be sufficient amounts of submucosal tissue in the resection specimens. Methods In 1685 digitized tissue sections from endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) performed for 76 early BEA cases from three experienced centers, the submucosal thickness was determined, using software developed in-house. Neoplastic lesions were manually annotated. Results No submucosa was seen in about a third of the entire resection area (mean 33.8 % [SD 17.2 %]), as well as underneath cancers (33.3 % [28.3 %]), with similar results for both resection methods and with respect to submucosal thickness. ESD results showed a greater variability between centers than EMR. In T1b cancers, a higher rate of submucosal defects tended to correlate with R1 resections. Conclusion The absence of submucosa underneath about one third of the tissue of endoscopically resected BEAs should be improved. Results were more center-dependent for ESD than for EMR. Submucosal defects can potentially serve as a parameter for standardized reports.

Abstract Two-dimensional protein maps of biopsies from normal mucosa, tubular adenomas (polyps), and colonic carcinomas in humans have been studied in order to obtain information on the possible precancerous role of intestinal polyps. The maps are complex and several hundred protein spots are seen after staining with Coomassie Blue. Most of the spots are common to these three tissue types, but there are also differences. Polyps and carcinomas had a strikingly similar protein pattern, different from that of normal mucosa. There were negligible differences in the two-dimensional protein maps of tubular adenomas from patients who also had colonic cancer, as compared with adenomas from persons without carcinomas. The results lend further support to the hypothesis that polyps may be precursors of carcinomas of the large intestine.
