A case of colonic ischemia mimicking carcinoma

Abstract

In this article, we describe a case of colonic ischemia masquerading as colonic carcinoma in a 75-yr-old female. Although this clinical diagnostic problem has been described before, it is rather unusual that the clinical, roentgenographical, endoscopic, and even histopathologic evaluation could not exclude carcinoma with certainty.
