A 76-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital complaining of abdominal pain and vomiting. Abdominal computed tomography revealed small bowel obstruction and tumors in the sigmoid colon. Colonoscopy revealed a circumferential tumor in the sigmoid colon.
The findings were suggestive of ischemic enteritis with stricture and sigmoid colon cancer. The patient was thus treated by partial resection of the ileum and sigmoid colon.
Pathological findings in the resected specimens were compatible with the diagnosis of ischemic enteritis associated and sigmoid colon cancer.
