ABSTRACT
The patient was a 68-year-old woman who was on hemodialysis due to systemic amyloidosis and nephrotic syndrome. Biopsy revealed amyloid deposition in the stomach, duodenum, and colon. A transverse colon tumor was found on a follow- up CT after the aortic dissection surgery. We performed lower gastrointestinal endoscopy and contrast-enhanced CT and diagnosed transverse colon cancer with gastric wall infiltration(cStage â
¢c). We considered that transverse colon resection was oncologically sufficient. However, due to concurrent gastrointestinal amyloidosis, which increased the risk of anastomotic leakage we performed laparoscopic extended right hemicolectomy to avoid colon-colon anastomosis with partial gastrectomy. Additionally intraoperative indocyanine green(ICG)fluorescence imaging showed that the fluorescence signal in the small intestinal wall was satisfactory, while it was weak in the colon wall. As a result, we suspected of impaired blood flow of colon wall due to an amyloidosis, so we additionally created a loop ileostomy. It is said that gastrointestinal amyloidosis raises the risk of anastomotic leakage. A case of transverse colon cancer complicated by gastrointestinal amyloidosis in which we successfully prevented anastomotic leakage through a multidimensional evaluation and approach is reported, along with a literature review.
