Case 3
Presented by: Jean-François Fléjou, Laurent Michot, France
Clinical History
A 47-year-old woman without any previous significant medical history was admitted for abdominal pain. Physical examination was normal. Endoscopy revealed an obstructive and ulcerated tumour of the transverse colon. Biopsy of the tumour showed a spindle cell tumour. Abdominal ultrasound CT scan showed one nodule in the liver, 3 cm in diameter, suggestive of metastasis. A right colectomy was performed. On laparotomy, a subcapsular hepatic nodule was removed. On macroscopy, the colectomy specimen showed an ulcerated and infiltrative circumferential tumour. The subcapsular hepatic nodule was also removed. The slide that is submitted is taken from the colonic tumour.
