Title: [Coincidence of sigmoid cancer and sigmoid diverticulitis]. Author: Richter A, Schmid M, Hagmüller E, Saeger HD, Trede M. Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1991; 116(5):301-9. PubMed ID: 1647598. Abstract: From 1985 to 1989 265 patients with a carcinoma of the sigmoid or sigmoid diverticulitis have been operated in our clinic. 23 of the treated patients synchronously had a carcinoma and a diverticulitis. The carcinoma in these cases was found to be significantly more frequent in a stage T1 or T2. We also found a significantly higher rate of perforations in this group of patients.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
