Abstract
We report the first known case of pouch carcinoma in a 35-year-old fem ale patient following proctocolectomy for adenocarcinoma in ulcerative pancolitis with backwash ileitis. Pouch cancer was diagnosed 2 years after the pelvic pouch procedure, illustrating that there might be a r isk of pouch cancer in such patients. Adenocarcinoma arising in an ile oanal reservoir is rare. Two other cases have been reported: both pati ents concerned were believed to have developed cancer in small areas o f residual remaining rectal mucosa.
