摘要
Colonic involvement in patients with severe acute pancreatitis or chronic pancreatitis is common and complications such as paralytic ileus, segmental necrosis and pancreatic-colonic fistulae have been described. However, mechanical occlusion of the colon due to pancreatitis is infrequent. We present the case of a 45-year-old man with occlusion of the colon secondary to asymptomatic pancreatitis mimicking a locally advanced stenosing neoplasm of the splenic angle. Ten years prior to the present episode the patient had presented acute alcoholic pancreatitis complicated by a pseudocyst requiring surgery. The current reason for admission was abdominal colic pain and constipation with onset 5 days previously. Contrast enema was administered showing colonic occlusion caused by stenosis at the splenic flexure, suggesting the presence of a neoplasm. Urgent laparotomy showed the presence of a tumor originating in the colon that infiltrated the splenic hilum. Subtotal colectomy and en-bloc splenectomy were performed. Histopathological analysis showed pericolonic inflammation and fibrosis secondary to pancreatitis; the colonic mucosa showed no tumoral infiltration. To date, fewer than 30 cases of this infrequent complication have been published.
