Journal Title: Hippocrates Medical Journal - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Colon cancer is a major health problem all over the world. Colon cancer can be diagnosed with an elective diagnosis as well as during emergencies such as perforation, obstruction or bleeding. Tumor-related bleeding is usually seen in right colon tumors, while left colon tumors usually present with obstructive symptoms. In this case report, it is aimed to present the diagnosis and treatment process of massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding caused by a giant right colon tumor. A 57-year-old male was admitted to general surgery clinic with lower gastrointestinal massive bleeding. He had hypotension, tachycardia and lower hemoglobin level (5.4 g/dL). He became hemodynamically stable after intravenous fluid replacement and blood product transfusion. After evaluation with colonoscopy and computed tomography, he had resectable giant right colon tumor. Emergency right hemicolectomy with anastomosis was performed. He was discharged on the 6th postoperative day. Pathology of the operation material was consistent with adenocarcinoma. The tumor dimensions were 120*80*25 mm. Surgical border was negative and there was a metastatic lymph node with 49 reactive lymph node.
