Abstract
In the 1950s the treatment of ulcerative colitis was revolutionized by Brooke by way
of a colectomy combined with an eversion ileostomy. This procedure is known to be
associated with a number of complications that include skin excoriation, stenosis,
intestinal obstruction, retraction or prolapse of the stoma, abscess and fistula formation,
and ileitis. However, adenocarcinoma arising in the abnormally placed small intestinal
mucosa 20 years or more after the initial operation is being increasingly recognized
and reported. This article describes one such case and includes an extensive review
of the current world literature on the subject of adenocarcinoma arising as a late
complication of operation for ulcerative colitis.
