RESUMO
McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome is a rare disease when villous adenoma of the distal colon predisposes to profuse watery diarrhea with subsequent severe electrolyte disturbances and acute renal damage. A differentiated approach to correct diagnosis requires in-depth pathophysiological knowledge of regulation of water-electrolyte metabolism, functional and organic disorders of gastrointestinal tract and clinical manifestations of hypoosmolar dehydration. The peculiarity of the McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome is a 100% probability of death without treatment and complete regression of symptoms under complex correction of homeostasis and total resection of tumor. We demonstrate the main clinical trends of the McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome. This report may be useful for general practitioners, gastroenterologists, oncologists, nephrologists and anesthesiologists.

BACKGROUND: The procedure of choice for the resection of ampullary tumors comprises transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA), endoscopic papillectomy (EP), and pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).1 For neoplasms with low-grade dysplasia, TDA and EP have equivalent efficacies and lower morbidities than PD1. Compared with EP, also as an organ-preserving procedure, TDA could be applicable for tumors involving the pancreatic ducts or common bile ducts.2 Because TDA has a lower incidence of postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding and a higher R0 resection rate, its use could avoid the need to use multiple endoscopic procedures for larger lesions.3 Furthermore, during TDA, surgeons could convert to PD as necessary. However, TDA has rarely been performed using a minimally invasive approach that addresses the shortcomings of both the endoscopic and open surgical techniques without adding significant morbidity or compromising outcomes.2,4 Conventional laparoscopic TDA (LTDA) remains limited due to the complexity of the surgical anatomy of the ampulla and the reconstruction required compared with robot-assisted procedures.2-5 However, robot-assisted surgery is less popular and much more expensive than laparoscopic surgery. This report with a video describes the LTDA approach to standardize and simplify the surgical processes. METHODS: A 48-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with epigastric pain. He had a history of cholecystolithiasis with chronic cholecystitis. A tumor approximately 2.2 cm in diameter located in the duodenal papilla was diagnosed by an enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan. The endoscopic biopsy result indicated a villous adenoma with moderate dysplasia. Laparoscopic TDA and cholecystectomy were planned. However, if the frozen sample analysis showed adenocarcinoma, laparoscopic PD (LPD) would be applied. The patient was placed in the supine position with both legs apart. Trocars were distributed in the same manner as in the authors' previous study to facilitate conversion to LPD.6 The procedure began with kocherization and dissection of the gastrocolic ligament to explore the second and third portions of the duodenum. A figure-eight suture was made using 4-0 prolene in the seromuscular layer, and then the duodenum was retracted to the left side of the patient. A longitudinal duodenotomy was made, and the ampulla of Vater was identified. A transfixing suture was placed through the tumor. Submucosal injection of norepinephrine (1:500) was performed to divide the mucosa from the muscular planes. Ampullectomy was performed by first dissecting in the submucosal plane with a harmonic scalpel at the 6 o'clock position until the pancreatic duct was reached. A 6-Fr plastic catheter was inserted into the pancreatic duct for subsequent reconstruction. Continued dissection around the tumor identified the bile duct. Another 6-Fr plastic catheter was inserted into the bile duct. The dissection was completed in the submucosal plane, and the specimen was retrieved for frozen sectioning. After confirmation of villous adenoma with moderate dysplasia and the proximal margin without residual tumor on frozen biopsy, reconstruction was performed. The septum between the ducts was plastered, and the bile and pancreatic ducts were reconstructed on the duodenal wall with 5-0 PDS-II interrupted sutures to ensure that these ducts remained patent and connected. After reconstruction, the plastic catheter was kept in the pancreatic duct but removed from the bile duct. Then, cholecystectomy was applied. Finally, the duodenum was closed obliquely in two layers, and two drains were routinely placed. RESULTS: The operation time was 139 min, and the estimated blood loss was 50 ml. Final pathology confirmed villous adenoma with mild to moderate dysplasia. The postoperative course was uneventful, with a hospital stay of 9 days. There was no evidence of recurrence or patency of the reimplanted ducts 5 months after surgery. From February 2022 to May 2022, four cases of LTDA with the same surgical processes were managed by the authors, and all the patients recovered quickly without any postoperative complications. CONCLUSION: After standardization of the surgical processes, laparoscopic TDA was safe for highly selected patients. However, long-term follow-up is required to observe the quality of life and survival of patients.

An adenoma is the most typical large bowel tumor found in 30% of all screening colonoscopies. However, it is often asymptomatic but sometimes might lead to abdominal pain or bleeding of the rectum. Critical electrolyte disbalance and acute kidney injury caused by secretory diarrhea is an untypical clinical manifestation of adenoma. It has rarely been reported in the literature and is defined as McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome. A 61-year-old patient was hospitalized for heavy dyselectrolytemia, diarrhea, acute kidney injury, sepsis, and fever. After the renal function was corrected and electrolyte imbalance persisted, visual instrumental diagnostics tests revealed a large tumor in the sigmoid colon. Subsequently, the patient underwent surgical resection, which exhibited evidence of tubulovillous adenoma on pathology. The atypical signs of McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome and comorbidities can make the diagnostics challenging. When severe hyponatremia and hypokalemia are followed by persistent mucous diarrhea, the clinicians should suspect MWS as a possible reason for it.

Primary villous adenoma originating from the urinary tract is an infrequent entity. We present a rare case of villous adenoma arising from a prostatic urethra with no sign of malignant transformation. Villous adenoma should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses of urethral lesions, especially if it has similar magnetic resonance imaging features as its colonic counterpart. Due to its potential for malignant transformation, its complete resection is mandatory.

Objective: To explore the application value of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in the differential diagnosis of rectal tumors and evaluating the prognostic factors associated with rectal adenocarcinoma. Methods: A total of 105 patients with rectal tumors admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from December 2018 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent high-resolution magnetic resonance DKI scanning. The mean diffusivity (MD), mean kurtosis (MK) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were measured and the relationship of these parameters with pathological types and prognostic factors of rectal tumor were analyzed. The diagnostic efficacy of MD, MK, and ADC for positive circumferential resection margin (CRM) and extramural venous invasion (EMVI) of rectal adenocarcinoma was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: MD and ADC were only related to pathological type. The MD and ADC were (2.091±0.390)×10(-3) and (1.478±0.265)×10(-3) mm(2)/s in mucinous adenocarcinoma, higher than (1.136±0.182)×10(-3) and (0.767±0.077)×10(-3) mm(2)/s in unspecified adenocarcinoma and (1.617±0.697)×10(-3) and (0.940±0.179)×10(-3) mm(2)/s in tubulo-villous adenoma. The MD and ADC in unspecified adenocarcinoma were lower than those in tubule-villous adenoma (P<0.05). Nevertheless, MK was associated with pathological type, N stage, CRM and EMVI. The MK was 0.566±0.110 in mucinous adenocarcinoma, lower than 0.982±0.135 in unspecified adenocarcinoma and 0.827±0.121 in tubulo-villous adenoma. The MK in unspecified adenocarcinoma was higher than that in intubulo-villous adenoma. The MK was 0.984±0.107 in pN1-2, higher than 0.881±0.146 in pN0. The MK was 0.990±0.142 in positive CRM, higher than 0.862±0.114 in negative CRM. The MK was 0.996±0.140 in positive EMVI, higher than 0.832±0.100 in negative EMVI (P<0.05). The ROC curves showed that the AUCs of MD, MK and ADC in diagnosing positive CRM were 0.459, 0.653 and 0.408, respectively; with MK=1.006 as the optimal diagnostic threshold, the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 51.9% and 81.0%, respectively. The AUCs of MD, MK and ADC values in diagnosing positive EMVI were 0.510, 0.662 and 0.388, respectively; with MK=1.010 as the optimal diagnostic threshold, the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 50.9% and 87.5%, respectively. Conclusions: DKI quantitative parameter is helpful for discriminating rectal tubulo-villous adenoma, unspecified adenocarcinoma, and mucinous adenocarcinoma, and is helpful for predicting the prognosis of patients with rectal adenocarcinoma. High MK is associated with positive CRM and EMVI.

We report the case of a 67-year-old male with a history of arterial hypertension and atrial fibrillation, who was admitted for acute renal failure (creatinine: 4.41 mg/dl) and hypotension. He also presented hyponatremia (129 mmol/L) and hypokalemia (2.7 mmol/L). The patient referred profuse diarrhea during the previous two months as a possible triggering cause. Physical examination showed signs of dehydration and palpation of a polypoid mass in the rectal ampulla.

BACKGROUND: Considering that the knowledge of adenocarcinoma in villous adenoma of the colorectum is limited to several case reports, we designed a study to investigate independent prognostic factors and developed nomograms for predicting the survival of patients. METHODS: Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate prognostic factors. A nomogram predicting cancer-specific survival (CSS) was performed; internally and externally validated; evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, C-index, and decision curve analyses; and compared to the 7th TNM stage. RESULTS: Patients with adenocarcinoma in villous adenoma of the colorectum had a 1-year overall survival (OS) rate of 88.3% (95% CI: 87.1-89.5%), a 3-year OS rate of 75.1% (95% CI: 73.3-77%) and a 5-year OS rate of 64.5% (95% CI: 62-67.1%). Nomograms for 1-, 3- and 5-year CSS predictions were constructed and performed better with a higher C-index than the 7th TNM staging (internal: 0.716 vs 0.663; P < 0.001; external: 0.713 vs 0.647; P < 0.001). Additionally, the nomogram showed good agreement between internal and external validation. According to DCA analysis, compared to the 7th TNM stage, the nomogram showed a greater benefit across the period of follow-up regardless of the internal cohort or external cohort. CONCLUSION: Age, race, T stage, pathologic grade, N stage, tumor size and M stage were prognostic factors for both OS and CSS. The constructed nomograms were more effective and accurate for predicting the 1-, 3- and 5-year CSS of patients with adenocarcinoma in villous adenoma than 7th TNM staging.

INTRODUCTION: Villous adenomas are dubiously benign lesions, which are difficult to interpret because of their malignant potential. Distal villous adenomas present with bleeding or mucus discharge. Giant adenomas are not amenable for endoscopic or transanal resection. Only few isolated cases have been reported by laparoscopic resection. We present our case of a circumferential giant villous adenoma of the rectum managed successfully by laparoscopic ultra-low anterior resection with colo-anal anastomosis with a review of literature in regard to their malignant potential. CASE REPORT: A 62-year-old lady presented with complaints of painless bleeding per rectum and a fleshy mass protruding from the anal canal which on digital rectal examination appeared a large soft velvety flat mass with mucus discharge. Colonoscopy showed circumferential irregular, friable, edematous mucosa in rectum extending for 15 cm. Computed tomography showed a large heterogeneously enhancing polypoid mass lesion in the rectal wall involving the entire rectum. The patient underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection with colo-anal anastomosis and protecting loop ileostomy. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed villous adenoma of the rectum with moderate to severe dysplasia. DISCUSSION: Villous adenomas are sessile growths lined by dysplastic glandular epithelium, whose risk of malignancy is especially high up to 50% when greater than 2 cm in size. Large size, villous content, and distal location are all associated with severe dysplasia in colorectal adenomas. Large villous rectal tumors, particularly of circumferential type pose a great challenge for endoscopic or transanal removal. Henceforth, open or laparoscopic surgery is required for these cases. CONCLUSION: Giant rectal villous polyps are usually unresectable by endoscopic methods or transanal endoscopic microsurgery and are associated with a high rate of unsuspected cancer which requires a formal radical oncologic resection. As per current data, the combined risk of dysplasia/malignancy is about 83% with 50% risk of dysplasia and frank malignancy in 33% of cases of giant rectal villous adenomas of more than 8 cm in size. Laparoscopic colorectal resection is safe and effective.

Background: Transanal endoscopic microsurgery has become the standard of treatment for rectal villous adenomas. However, the role of preoperative imaging for these lesions is not clear. The aim of this study was to compare the value of preoperative imaging and surgeon clinical staging in the preoperative evaluation of patients with rectal villous adenomas having transanal endoscopic microsurgery resection. Methods: We conducted a single-centre comparative retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent transanal endoscopic microsurgery surgery for rectal villous adenomas from 2011 to 2013. The intervention was preoperative imaging versus surgeon clinical staging. The primary outcome was the accuracy of clinical staging by preoperative imaging and surgeon clinical staging according to the histopathologic staging. Results: A total of 146 patients underwent transanal endoscopic microsurgery surgery for rectal villous adenomas. One hundred and twelve (76.7%) of those patients had no preoperative imaging while 34 patients (23.3%) had either endorectal ultrasound (22 patients) or magnetic resonance imaging (12 patients). Surgeon staging was accurate in 89.3% of cases whereas staging by endorectal ultrasound was accurate in 40.9% cases and magnetic resonance imaging was accurate in 0% of cases. In the imaging group, inaccurate staging would have led to unnecessary radical surgery in 44.0% of patients. Conclusion: This study was subject to selection bias because of its retrospective nature and the limited number of patients with imaging. Patients with rectal villous tumours without invasive carcinoma on biopsies and without malignant characteristics on appearance in the judgment of an experienced colorectal surgeon might not benefit from preoperative imaging before undergoing transanal endoscopic microsurgery procedures.
Contexte: La microchirurgie endoscopique transanale est devenue le traitement standard des adénomes villeux rectaux. La valeur de l'imagerie préopératoire pour le traitement de ces lésions n'est toutefois pas bien établie. Cette étude visait à comparer l'exactitude de la stadification par imagerie préopératoire et de la stadification clinique par le chirurgien dans le cadre de l'évaluation préopératoire des patients atteints d'adénomes villeux rectaux qui subissent une résection par microchirurgie endoscopique transanale. Méthodes: Nous avons mené une étude de cohorte rétrospective comparative monocentrique chez des patients ayant subi une microchirurgie endoscopique transanale pour un adénome villeux rectal entre 2011 et 2013. Les interventions comparées étaient la stadification par imagerie préopératoire et la stadification clinique par le chirurgien. L'issue principale était l'exactitude de la stadification clinique par imagerie préopératoire et de la stadification clinique par le chirurgien, confirmée par stadification histopathologique. Résultats: Au total, 146 patients ont subi une microchirurgie endoscopique transanale pour le traitement d'un adénome villeux rectal. De ces patients, 112 (76,7 %) n'avaient pas subi d'imagerie préopératoire et 34 (23,3 %) avaient subi une échographie endorectale (22 patients) ou une imagerie par résonance magnétique (12 patients). La stadification par le chirurgien était exacte dans 89,3 % des cas, contre 40,9 % des cas pour l'échographie endorectale et 0 % des cas pour l'imagerie par résonnance magnétique. Dans le groupe ayant subi une imagerie, l'inexactitude de la stadification aurait mené à une chirurgie radicale inutile pour 44,0 % des patients. Conclusion: Cette étude comportait un biais de sélection en raison de sa nature rétrospective et du nombre limité de patients ayant subi une imagerie. L'imagerie préopératoire avant une microchirurgie endoscopique transanale pourrait ne présenter aucun avantage pour les patients présentant des tumeurs villeuses rectales dans les cas où aucun carcinome invasif n'a été détecté par biopsie et où un chirurgien colorectal chevronné n'a détecté aucune caractéristique maligne.

Frequency indices of tubulovillous adenoma are higher than the ones of colorectal cancer, and probably, the majority of adenomas are prone to malignancy. It is often impossible to determine which adenoma tends to tumorous neoplasia. However, increase in the adenomas and expressed dysplasia contribute to adenomas malignant transformation. In this regard, the purpose of the study is to evaluate cellular proliferation, apoptosis, beta-catenin in tubulovillous intestinal adenomas with varying degrees of dysplasia. The study used biopsy materials of tubulovillous adenomas obtained from 50 patients who underwent ectomy. After resection the adenomas were cut by the maximum size for the full thickness of tunicae mucosae, muscularis be included into the section. Immunohistochemical reactions used a cellular proliferation marker (Ki-67), that of apoptosis (P-53), of a transcription factor (ß-catenin). In tubulovillous adenomas with the low grade dysplasia degree there are low indicators of cellular proliferation and apoptosis, located primarily in basal glandular segments. As dysplasia degree increases, cellular division in the glandular epithelium intensifies and nuclear expression of beta-catenin appears as well. Against the background of a meaningful increase in cellular proliferation, a small number of cells in apoptotic condition are revealed. Thus, increased indicators of Ki-67 and ß-catenin in a tubulovillous adenomas in high grade dysplasia contributes to limiting cellular differentiation, violates intercellular contacts.

A 65-year-old man was previously admitted to our university hospital thrice in the last 2 years because of acute kidney failure. This time he was admitted because of frequent diarrhea, anorexia, exacerbation of renal function, and hyponatremia. Rectal wall thickening was detected on computed tomography. Subsequently, a rectal polyp with mucous secretion was found on colonoscopy, which was further diagnosed as a subcutaneous villous adenoma on biopsy. Thus, electrolyte depletion syndrome associated with the rectal polyp was thought to be the cause of his symptoms. Finally, the patient underwent abdominoperineal resection of the rectum. Histopathologically, the rectal lesion was diagnosed as a villous/tubularadenoma without malignancy, and this is such a rare case to be reported.

OBJECTIVES: Although large polyps are known to harbor more advanced neoplasia than small polyps, the extent of the relationship between size and type is not fully known. The study aim was to establish benchmarks for the prevalence of different histologic polyp types among varying size categories. METHODS: The Miraca Life Sciences Database is an electronic repository of histopathologic patient records from private practices throughout the United States. We extracted the records of 483,998 unique patients who underwent colonoscopy with polypectomy between January 2008 and December 2014. A total of 550,811 polyps were stratified by their endoscopic size measurement. Polyps of each size were further stratified as hyperplastic polyp (HP), tubular adenoma (TA), tubulovillous adenoma (TVA), sessile serrated adenoma/polyp, and adenocarcinoma. RESULTS: Of all 550,811 polyps, 447,343 (81%) were 1-9 mm in size, and 103,517 (19%) were 10 mm or larger. A fraction of 18,591/550,811 polyps (3.4%) harbored histologic features of advanced adenoma, such as TVA, high-grade dysplasia, or cancer. Of these, 4,725/18,591 (25%) occurred in polyps 1-9 mm and 13,868/18,591 (75%) occurred in polyps 10 mm or larger. The fractions of advanced adenoma were 0.6% (0.5-0.6%) in 1-5 mm polyps and 2.1% (2.0-2.2%) in 6-9 mm polyps, as compared to 13.4% (13.2-13.6%) in polyps 10 mm or larger. The frequency of HP significantly decreased with increasing polyp size, whereas the frequency of TA remained largely unaffected by polyp size. CONCLUSIONS: While advanced histopathology was found more frequently in colorectal polyps of larger than smaller size, one quarter of all advanced histopathology existed in polyps of <10 mm.

Villous lesions are advanced adenomas that manifest most commonly in the colon; however, they can develop throughout the gastrointestinal tract. The duodenum is the most common small-bowel site of these lesions. Although in most cases these are isolated lesions that occur sporadically, patients with certain specific colorectal cancer syndromes, including familial adenomatous polyposis and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, may develop multiple advanced adenomas. Villous lesions are important because although they are histologically benign, they may harbor dysplasia and have potential for malignancy. These characteristics make them a primary target for colorectal cancer screening with optical and virtual colonoscopy. However, these lesions can also be symptomatic and detected at diagnostic imaging when patients present for examination. They have characteristic features at a variety of imaging examinations, including barium fluoroscopy, CT, MRI, and endoscopic US. It is important for radiologists to be aware of these lesions, their potential morphologies, and their typical appearances at multimodality imaging. Although villous tumors can be detected at imaging and confirmed with biopsy, owing to limitations in identifying dysplasia and foci of malignancy with the above modalities alone and the potential for malignancy, referral for surgical resection of these lesions ultimately is required. ©RSNA, 2018.

PURPOSE: Very few data are available about the clinical relevance of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in preoperative evaluation of rectal villous adenoma. The aim is to evaluate the impact of MR imaging for the surgical management of rectal villous adenoma treated by transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM). METHODS: All patients with histologically proven rectal villous tumours operated by TEM who had a preoperative MR imaging between 2009 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent TEM because preoperative evaluation suggested systematically usT0 or usT1 tumour. Pathological stage was blindly compared to preoperative MR imaging (location according to the anal verge and the peritoneal reflection, amount of circumferential involvement, tumour size and staging) and preoperative transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) results. RESULTS: Forty-five patients were included (24 men, mean age 65 ± 8 years) with TRUS data available only in 37. Pathologic results were pT0-pTis in 32, pT1 in 10 and pT2 in 3. TRUS diagnosed correctly 36/37 lesions (97%) and understaged one pT2 tumour. A significant correlation between TRUS and pathologic results was noted (r = 0.99; p = 0.01). MR imaging diagnosed correctly 19/42 pTis-T1 and 1/3 pT2 tumours (46%). Overstaging by MR imaging was noted in 25 cases (54%). No correlation between MR imaging and pathologic results was noted (r = 0.7; p = 0.3). CONCLUSION: Preoperative evaluation of rectal villous adenoma is overstaged by MRI in more than half of the patients. This study suggests that the indication of local excision by TEM for rectal villous adenoma should be based on TRUS rather than on MRI.

AIM: In the UK Bowel Scope Screening Programme (BSSP), patients progress to colonoscopy based on high-risk features on flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS). We aim to assess the practice of colonoscopy conversion and predictors of detection of additional adenomas on colonoscopy. METHOD: The Bowel Cancer Screening database was interrogated and collated with endoscopic and histological findings from patients undergoing colonoscopy following FS between August 2013 and August 2016. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify predictors of new adenomas. RESULTS: FS was performed on 11 711 patients, with an adenoma detection rate (ADR) of 8.5% and conversion to colonoscopy in 421 (3.6%). The additional ADR at colonoscopy was 35.2%, with one additional malignant diagnosis (0.26%). The adenoma miss rate was 3.6%. On multivariate analysis, a polyp ≥ 10 mm was the only high-risk indication associated with additional ADR at colonoscopy (OR 3.68, 95% CI 1.51-3.65, P < 0.001), in addition to male gender (OR 2.36, 95% CI 1.46-3.83, P < 0.001). Predictors of detection of a new adenoma ≥ 10 mm included: villous adenoma (P = 0.002), polyp ≥ 10 mm (P = 0.007) and male gender (P = 0.039). The presence of any conversion criterion was associated with the detection of any proximal adenoma (P < 0.001) and adenoma ≥ 10 mm (P = 0.031). CONCLUSION: Male gender, polyps ≥ 10 mm and villous-preponderant histology at FS were predictors of adenomas < 10 mm and ≥ 10 mm at colonoscopy. Further data are required to assess the role for gender-based stratification of conversion criteria.

We present the case of a patient with obstructive jaundice due to a polylobulated lesion at the middle common bile duct that is identified as a villous adenoma of the main bile duct. This entity is infrequent with few references in the bibliography. It is a benign pathology but with risk of malignancy, so the diagnosis and resection is essential for adequate treatment.

Lipomas of the digestive tract are rare benign tumours which, in most cases, are totally asymptomatic. Because of their localization within the intestinal wall, endoscopy may be completely negative so contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is very important for detecting and typing these lesions. The case of a 49-year-old man with abdominal pain is presented. Colonoscopy and biopsy of a polypoid lesion on the right colonic flexure concluded for tubulovillous adenoma. The subsequent CT showed a polylobate lesion of 5 cm in diameter with predominant fat density causing luminal sub-stenosis. Histological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the presence of a voluminous submucosal lipoma. CT allows to diagnose lipomas of the large bowel thanks to the density measurement (between -40 and -120 Hunsfield Units) with an accurate detection of the site and nature of lumen stenosis.
