Abstract
WE PRESENT A CASE OF A 62 YEARS OLD MAN, WHO WAS ADMITTED RECENTLY IN OUR SURGICAL CLINIC. HE WAS OPERATED LAPAROSCOPICALLY, APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS BEFORE, FOR AN ACUTE CALCULOUS CHOLECYSTITIS. HE PRESENTED AT EMERGENCY ROOM FOR PERSISTENT RIGHT FLANK ABD OMINAL PAIN AND A PALPABLE MASS AT THE SAME LEVEL. COLONOSCOPY CONFIRMED THE ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND SUPPOSITION: A BIG TUMOR OF ASCENDING COLON AND, SURPRISINGLY, ALSO A SMALL TUMOR OF SIGMOID COLON. THE PATIENT WAS OPERATED THROUGH AN OPEN PROCEDURE AND T HE POSTOPERATIVE OUTCOME WAS VERY GOOD. THE PARTICULARITY OF THIS CASE IS COEXISTENCE OF ASYMPTOMATIC SYNCHRONOUS COLONIC TUMORS AND ACUTE CALCULOUS CHOLECISTITIS AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INTERVENTION (CHOLECYSTECTOMY).
