ABSTRACT
The case was for a male at the age of 80. We performed laparoscopic left hemicolectomy and D3 lymph node dissection for descending colon cancer. He had a good postoperative prognosis and was discharged on the 14th day after the operation. Later, he was receiving the treatment on an outpatient basis without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy during the followup period. He visited the hospital for sudden abdominal pain and melena as chief complaint approximately 4 months after the operation. We found prominent edematous wall thickening and increased surrounding fat concentration in the anal side of colon from the anastomosis site with plain abdominal CT scan. We also found that the anal side of colon from the anastomosis site an edematous change broadly in the lower gastrointestinal endoscopy. We conducted conservative treatment with the diagnosis of ischemic colitis at the anal side of colon from the anastomosis site. He was discharged on the 11th day after the hospitalization. Later, we conducted a follow-up examination for him on an outpatient basis. We recognized the symptom improvement approximately 2 months after the onset of the ischemic colitis.
