Profile of Neoplastic Colorectal Lesions- A Five Year Study
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Pathology and Microbiology - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: Colorectal diseases are frequently encountered in clinical practice. They range from minor problems causing minimal discomfort to potentially serious diseases causing much morbidity and mortality. Clinically most of these disorders present with non-specific symptoms like altered bowel habits, diarrhea, bleeding per rectum either melaena or fresh hemorrhage; thus causing much delay in drawing attention. Early detection and proper management are essential to reduce the morbidity and mortality. Various diagnostic tools are developed in the recent past, improving the detection and assessment of these lesions. To study the profile of various neoplastic colorectal lesions and to know the relative frequency of various diseases, and to know the age, sex incidence and site of occurrence of the neoplastic colorectal lesions. This study was carried out in the Department of Pathology, NRI Medical College, Chinakakani, Guntur district. The present study consisted of 187 cases of neoplastic colorectal lesions over a study period of 5 years, i.e from June 2008 to May 2013. The present study comprised a total of 187 cases of neoplastic colorectal lesions over a study period of 5 years, i.e. from June 2008 to May 2013. Out of 187 cases of neoplastic lesions, 211 (65.94%) cases were Males and 109 (34.06%) cases were females. Of the 187 cases of neoplastic lesions, 17( 9.09%) cases were benign and 170(90.91%) cases were malignant. Out of 187 neoplastic lesions, 85 (45.45%) cases were seen in the rectum which were mostly seen during 50 to 70 years of age, 51 (27.27%) cases in the right colon which were also mostly seen between 50 to 70 years of age and 51 (27.27%) cases were seen in the left colon mostly during 30 to 50 years of age. The present study showed the age of presentation in left colon is a decade earlier than those of lesions involved in the right colon and rectum. Colorectal lesions are one of the common causes of morbidity. In routine clinical practice, histology is often considered as the gold standard when compared with other tests. Biopsy provides an excellent opportunity for the clinician and histopathologist to correlate, colonoscopic findings and pathological features.
