Abstract

A 60-year-old woman with bloody stool and narrow feces visited our hospital. The colonoscopy and barium enema revealed two elevated lesions of the rectum, one in the lower rectum (Rb) and one in the upper rectum (Ra). Biopsy specimens suggested that both lesions were squamous cell carcinoma. The Rb tumor was a 2cm type-2, and the Ra tumor was about a 6cm type-1. We performed resection by abdominoperineal resection in August 2005. Histological examination of the specimen of Rb revealed poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma: mp, ly2, v2. Histological examination of the Ra specimen revealed similarity to Rb tumor and suggested that the origin of Ra tumor was submucosal. We suggest that squamous cell carcinoma of the lower rectum was the primary carcinoma and that squamous cell carcinoma of the upper rectum at 70mm distant from the cancer of Rb was intramural metastasis from Rb. We report this rare case with lower rectal squamous cell carcinoma (Rb-P) with simultaneous intramural metastasis.<br>
