Adenocarcinoma in a continent colonic urinary reservoir

Urology. 1998 Mar;51(3):499-500. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(97)00640-7.

Abstract

We report the first case of an adenocarcinoma developing in a continent ileocolonic urinary reservoir. The tumor presented 7 years after the urinary diversion and more than 6 years after the resection of a Dukes' B lesion of the left colon. This report demonstrates that the colonic segment used for urinary diversion retains its malignant potential and that surveillance pouchoscopy should be performed in these patients.
