  • Title: Squamous cell carcinoma of the cecum developing in a patient with long-standing ulcerative colitis and a coexistent carcinoid tumor in the appendix: A case report.
    Author: Ahmad S, Watson N, Shamim K, Menon A, Abdullah K.
    Journal: Turk J Gastroenterol; 2015 Sep; 26(5):435-7. PubMed ID: 26215066.
    Abstract:
    Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the colon is a rare tumor that accounts for 0.1%-0.2% of colonic malignancies. However, pure SCC of the cecum is extremely rare. Although SCC of the colon is a rare complication of idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), SCC of the cecum in the context of IBD has not been previously reported in the English literature. We report a case of the coexistence of SCC of the cecum and a carcinoid tumor in a 46-year-old female with long-standing pan-ulcerative colitis.
